Publisher's Synopsis
Everything You Need to Start Practicing Mindfulness Today! Have you ever spent time with your friends and families while subconsciously thinking about work, personal finances, or some other stressful aspect of your life? Of course you have-we all have. When we live this way we miss out on all of life's precious moments, because we're too busy stuck in our heads. And, as modern life becomes increasingly stressful, we are retreating into our heads more and more. It's no way to live, but what is the answer? Mindfulness. Mindfulness silences the inane chatter rumbling around in your head and snaps you right back into the present moment. If you want to live amongst all of the world's natural beauty, to hear-and I mean really hear-what your loved ones are saying, and to live all the things you were missing out on, mindfulness is the answer. The Benefits of Mindfulness If you're worried about life passing you by, you need to live where all the action unfolds: the present moment. Mindfulness grounds you in the present moment, allowing you to live to your fullest potential. Most of us don't choose to preoccupy ourselves worrying about our personal finances, but it just happens to be our default state of mind. If you can learn to silence your mind's inner "noise," all of that stress melts away as if by magic. In fact, mindfulness has long been endorsed by medical institutions all around the world. Stress can wreak untold havoc on the human body, and so reducing your stress using mindfulness techniques can have a significant impact on your physical health, as well as your mental health-this is why mindfulness is commonly referred to as a mind-body healing technique. When you take all of that internal chatter away, you're able to focus on the task at hand with incredible clarity. This allows you to work more productively, more insightfully, and more creatively. Many mindful practitioners have declared mindfulness to be the single biggest factor in boosting their career. It's little wonder that gigantic multi-national corporations like Google and Facebook embrace mindfulness, is it? And really, that is the essence of what mindfulness is all about: Living life in the present moment, being productive, beating stress, and best of all, being happy. There is no better way to take care of yourself so that you can take care of your loved ones.
