More On Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Whether you practice grounding exercises or guided meditations, being in the present moment and not worrying about the past or the future can be a game changer for many. Check out "The Butterfly Meditation" to try a guided meditation.

However, it is vital to recharge your own battery before you can appropriately focus on your job, school, family, and all other areas of your life. Healthy self care choices can be the difference between your improved over all well being and continued unhappiness. Click here for some ideas to start taking care of you today!
