Why Mindfulness Matters

 

Mindfulness has become a bit of a buzzword over the last few yearsBut just what does being mindful mean and how does it work?

So What Is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practice of being consciously aware in the present moment, without judging your experience.

You see, we’re often worried about what could happen tomorrow – or ruminating on problems from the past.

By being ‘mindful’, we can enjoy every moment in the here and now.By achieving this state of awareness, we can enjoy a sense of peace within – rather than being distracted by our anxiety.

  • It can help improve our self-awareness
  • It’s a skill that almost anyone can develop
  • Mindfulness can create an inner sense of peace and calm
