Being Mindful Book

If there is one ability that you could learn that would make every single aspect of your life better, what would it be?
Undoubtedly, it would be the ability to control your emotions and to control the way you think.

This might sound like a surprising claim but the ability to control your emotions and the way you respond to a situation is not only the secret to happiness, but also the secret to being able to get whatever you want from life.

Why? Because it’s our interpretation of events, more than the events themselves, that dictate our happiness, mood and performance. Not only that, but our emotions and the neurotransmitters that control them are what alter our ability to focus, to remember information and to be creative.

Mindfulness meditation has been recognised as a powerful tool for helping people manage their minds and gain relief from distressing and distracting psychological symptoms. It is so ever-present now that it made the cover of Time magazine in 2014. The practice of mindfulness may bring a lot of advantages to your emotional and physical health, as well as to the relationships in your life.

Mindfulness is a quality of mind that is awake, aware - and knows it. It’s a skill that anyone can learn, which helps people tap into the brain’s built-in capacity to manage stress, increase focus and stay healthy.
