What is mindfulness?

“...the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgementally.”

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment, and to our thoughts and our feelings. It is a way of connecting and gives us the tools to deal with established patterns of behaviour and thought. Mindfulness can help people in different ways and some of the benefits include:

Enhanced well-being
Reduction in stress
Reduction in anxiety
Helping to manage life's pressures
Increased gratitude
Preventing automatic thinking
Helping to make good choices
Letting go of self-limiting beliefs
Helping to get out of your own mind
Enjoying life much more
