Mindfulness Practices

“When many demands compete for attention or when we are tired, we often fall into rote patterns of emotion and behavior. We eat according to the clock, stay up too late, and react without thinking. We can become trapped in our minds or indulge in immediate gratification too often. A lack of self-awareness can lead to poor decisions, poor health, and poor relationships. Living on autopilot is a coping mechanism, yet conscious choices and decisions can dramatically improve your health and well-being.

Mindfulness practices offer tools to anchor yourself in the present and can increase self-awareness. You can grow your ability to be self-aware and mindful—and every step you take will improve your health and happiness.’
