Mindfulness has become a bit of a buzzword over the last few years.
But just what does being mindful mean and how does it work?
In this guide, you'll learn why being mindful matters and how to practice it.
Mindfulness is the practice of being consciously aware in the present moment, without judging your experience.
You see, we’re often worried about what could happen tomorrow - or ruminating on problems from the past.
By being ‘mindful’, we can enjoy every moment in the here and now.
By achieving this state of awareness, we can enjoy a sense of peace within - rather than being distracted by our anxiety.
