6 Easy Ways to Practice Mindfulness | The Benefits of Mindfulness
“Mindfulness is the simple process of noticing new things about the familiar. When we notice actively, we become sensitive to perspective and change.” - Ellen Langer
Mindfulness isn’t about clearing your mind and having ZERO thoughts. It’s about becoming the OBSERVER - being deeply present and noticing what is happening in the moment - rather than being the THINKER - constantly spinning your wheels or spending time in the past or future.
In clinical and peer-reviewed studies, Mindfulness has been shown to:
Increase well-being
Reduce stress
Reduce emotional exhaustion
Reduces emotional reactivity
Increase happiness
Increase sense of calm & security
Improve cognitive function
Increase job satisfaction
Increase work engagement
Ease depression
And more!
