Mindfulness: Be Mindful. Live in the Moment.

by Gill Hasson

Overview

Be calm, collected, and in the moment
 
Too often, life just races by. We don’t fully experience what’s happening now: we’re distracted by what happened yesterday, and we’re always thinking about what we need to do tomorrow. Our minds are constantly chattering with commentary and judgment.

The practice of mindfulness encourages you to experience the moment instead of just rushing through it. It opens you up to new ideas and new ways of doing things, reducing stress and increasing your enjoyment of life.
 
With techniques to help you enjoy a more mindful approach to life, Mindfulness will teach you how to:

• Adopt more positive ways of thinking and behaving
• Become calmer and more confident
• Break free from unhelpful thinking patterns
• Bring about positive changes in your relationships
• Achieve a new level of self-awareness

 Mindfulness will help you live in the moment so life won’t pass you by!
