Mindfulness

What You Should Know

• Mindfulness is paying attention in the present moment, on purpose, in a nonjudgmental way.
• Mindfulness is like a muscle, the more we practice, the more “in-shape” our mindful minds become, the more benefits we will feel and experience.
• Research has shown that mindfulness can decrease stress, improve focus, learning, relationship satisfaction, empathy, patience, decision-making, and more!
