What is mindfulness?
By not worrying about the past or feeling so anxious about the future, we can experience more pleasure, joy and happiness in the present moment. Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.
Turning off autopilot and being in the now. By doing this we appreciate the important things, the smaller things and can live a more rewarding and fulfilling life.
