Use Your Presence to Make a Meaningful Difference

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?

Mindfulness is a practice of living in the present moment to be awake and aware of the rich experiences of life happening all around you. It is a neutral state of mind in which there is no judgment of good or bad, right or wrong.

Mindfulness is not a passive state of mind. It is active awareness and gentle acceptance of what is.

Mindfulness is a choice to be actively aware in the present moment and make choices based on observation.

Some of the benefits of mindfulness are:

  • Experience more peace and serenity
  • Reduce fear and worry
  • Increase your confidence
  • Enhance your awareness of the world around you
  • Change by conscious choice from the inside out
  • Be more present with others
  • Become aware of the simple joys of life
  • React less and observe more
  • Feel empowered and in control
  • Disengage from the drama of life
  • Improve the quality of your relationships
  • Reduce stress-related illnesses
  • Recognize opportunities you weren’t aware of before
