A Mindfulness Exercise

Mindfulness is a skill that many people have no desire to improve or have no idea exists. A lack of mindfulness can cause problems such as overthinking, worry, stress, and poor perception. Mindfulness is defined as a mental state achieved by focusing awareness on the present moment. A person in a truly mindful state recognizes and accepts thoughts and feelings and lets them pass, like a leaf floating down a river. There are many free mindfulness resources available on the Internet. Take the initiative and begin to improve your present awareness with this simple mindfulness exercise.
