Mindfulness training is for you if you answered YES to even one of these questions.

By practicing mindfulness, you will be able to ease your brain into a relaxed mode and ratchet down your panic level.
By practicing mindfulness, your focus will be sharper, you will complete tasks with less effort, and have more satisfying relationships.
By practicing mindfulness, you will decrease your stress, increase your happiness, and learn to enjoy every moment in your life.
So, you’re probably wondering how you can even practice mindfulness. When you were younger, maybe a parent or teacher told you to be mindful when playing near something potentially dangerous. That definition still applies, but in a different context. You can be mindful anywhere, anytime, and around anyone. After putting these practices into use on a regular basis, you’ll feel the differences for yourself.
