“Peace of mind arrives the moment you come to peace with the contents of your mind.”
― Rasheed Ogunlaru
What Is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a way of developing the ability to be consciously aware of the present moment.
Mindfulness helps us to face difficulties in life, with the skills to recognize when we’re caught up in thinking about the past, making negative judgements about the present, or worrying about the future. With increased awareness, we’re able to respond more skillfully to life’s stresses and challenges.
