What is it and How will it help me?
Mindfulness
is being present, focusing on the here right now, with mental clarity that’s
free of past worries, judgements and confusion. It is being ready to go forward,
giving yourself time to settle and work things out. Remember to be patient and
kind to yourself. We are often overloaded or overwhelmed. Mindfulness is a
modifying choice for peace and calm.
Some of the benefits include:
Be encouraged. As you to see what fits add to the list!
1) To improve cognitive abilities

3) To foster a sense of well-being
4) To Help reduce chronic pain
5) To help reduce fatigue
6) To foster creativity (needlework, painting, drawing, journaling,

Should you become anxious or upset during the day, you can always come back to
that calm and peaceful place by focusing on your breathing. Or using some calm
stretching exercises, or pray for calm and comfort.
When I am upset, overwhelmed, sad or weeping, I pray and ask God to send me calm
and comfort. Believe in God, He is always ready to help.
