What is Mindfulness?
“Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention in a particular way. It helps us to
notice our thoughts, feelings and actions without judgment. Researchers in major
universities all over the country have been studying the effects of mindful
practice for many years. The results that you may find the most beneficial are
how it helps us manage stress. Stress typically gets in the way of everything we
want to do and accomplish. Finding healthy and helpful ways to reduce stress tends
to make us happier in our lives now and in the future.
Mindfulness is being practiced by major athletes, corporate executives, and in
many schools. We will be exploring it together and discover how we can apply some
of these techniques into our lives.”
