Mindfulness For Life

Have you ever noticed just how busy your mind is all the time? All day long it's chattering away, one minute you're thinking about what to have for dinner, then what you need to pick up on the way home to make said dinner, then it might wander to whether or not your partner did the dishes like they promised, then to how annoying it is to come home to dirty dishes, then to the unfairness of always having to do everything yourself. All of a sudden you notice your mood is lower, and you're in a grump, and you're not quite sure how it happened! All minds wander around like this, and it has a real effect on how we feel. When we spend too much time dwelling in the past or worrying about the future, it can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, low self-image, hopelessness. Scientific study over the past 40 years has shown time and time again how mindfulness can change the structure of the brain so we can become more receptive to positivity and joy. We can learn to face life's ups and downs in the knowledge we are strong enough to deal with whatever comes. We can improve our self-image, have more joy and patience in relationships, a decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression, more energy, and more calm in our minds. ​Using a combination of evidence-based tools such as guided meditations, self-awareness exercises, and journalling prompts designed to help you work with your thoughts and feelings in productive ways, you can take more control over your own happiness. ​Studies show that Mindfulness training helps with: Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Addictive behaviours, Heart disease, Chronic pain, Attention & concentration, Emotional intelligence. Those completing a mindfulness course report: Feeling more calm, Having an increased sense of control over their lives, Having better relationships, Experiencing more enjoyment in life, Feeling better about themselves, Having more patience, Improved sleep.
