06/24/24 • 36 min

Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, on purpose, by conscious choice, and paying attention to our thoughts and feelings without judgment. Research has shown that mindfulness can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance focus and clarity. There is clear scientific evidence that mindfulness can enhance focus and clarity, improve physical and cognitive function, reduce stress, improve mood, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Through the practices of mindfulness, we learn from direct experience that all we have are moments. In this episode, we explore how through mindfulness we can train our attention and learn to better understand the impact of moments in the past, in the future and in the only moments we truly have now, . . . the present. More importantly, why you might choose to train your brain to reframe in this way.
