While we appreciate many aspects of our professional and personal lives, we often feel overwhelmed, distracted, and stressed by a myriad of tasks, messages, expectations, thoughts, and emotions that arise from our daily lives. We are busy often to feel lost wondering how the past hour, week, or year has slipped away without our awareness.
Mindfulness and meditation are effective, time-tested tools we can learn and utilize to reconnect with our innate joy, tranquility, focus, and awareness. We can benefit from them in many ways such as cultivating creativity, managing stress, increasing productivity, and nurturing kindness toward others as well as ourselves. The more mindful we become, the more frequently and clearly we’ll experience happiness, gratitude, and internal adequacy—without having to chase materials, applauses, or any other forms of external validation.
