Mindfulness Matters
What is the deal with mindfulness?
Why are so many people talking about it these days?
Most importantly…can it really make a difference in your life?
The simple answer is that it can, and the scientifically proven list of benefits including less stress, greater calm, increased attention span and improved relationships, continues to grow. The good news is that mindfulness is simple. It is not always easy, but anybody can begin the practice and feel its positive effects relatively quickly.
This interactive and fun mindfulness training will:
• Help demystify mindfulness, providing research and information on what it is and is not.
• Discuss how meditation plays into mindfulness.
• Include a minute or two of simple practice to experience mindfulness for yourself.
• Provide ideas to increase your mindfulness in daily life.
*Great for any level of experience.
