Mindfulness

Let’s get there..where? To the you, you desire! 

Being mindful is something like bridging the gap between keeping up with the world around you and quieting the mind SO you can continue to keep up with the world around you!

You fold the laundry while keeping one eye on the kids and another on the television or Facebook.

You plan your day while listening to a podcast or a TedTalk lecture probably  commuting to work, and then plan your weekend.

But in the rush to accomplish necessary tasks, you may find yourself losing your connection with the present moment—missing out on what you’re doing and how you’re feeling. Does this sound like you?

Did you notice whether you felt well-rested this morning or that forsythia is in bloom along your route to work?

Did you even realize the route you took to work, or arrive saying ” How did I get here?”

Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment—and accepting it without judgment.

Mindfulness is now being examined scientifically and has been found to be a key element in stress reduction and overall happiness.
