Mindfulness for Work, Mindfulness for Life.

In today's busy rush of life, we can forget to take the time to pay attention to the things that really matter. Our current ways of living have trained our brains to be fragmented and distracted, and this has resulted in decreased happiness, increased illness and reduced productivity. All of this has made it increasingly difficult ​to know what we need to thrive.

Fortunately, there is another way.

Mindfulness, the practice of being aware of what is happening right now, in this moment, and exploring that awareness with a curious and non-judgmental attitude, is a skill that can be learned. Research is increasingly showing that learning and practicing mindfulness helps us to counter the way things have been, opening the door to a new way of being.

Why Mindfulness?

Health & Wellbeing

The simple practice of mindfulness helps us to become aware of stress before it becomes a severe problem. Being mindful helps us to reverse existing habitual patterns of reactivity that lead to illness. And learning new ways of relating to stress can help us respond differently. Neuroscience and research have begun to explain the hows and whys, but the health benefits of mindfulness practice are undeniable.

Focus, Clarity & Productivity

At work and in life, the capacity to sustain attention is critically important to being effective and productive. Seeing the reality of what is present is necessary for wise and conscious decisions. With mindfulness, perspectives are widened and calmed, rather than being narrowed and frantic. Much like "mental hygiene", mindfulness clears out the clutter and stories so that our day can be managed with more clarity and creativity. 

Happiness & Resilience

Mindfulness helps us to shift our perspective on challenges, allowing us to see them more as opportunity than as threat. Learning that everything in life shifts and changes allows us to bounce back from setbacks more quickly. And becoming more aware of the pleasures in life allows us to savor them and appreciate the benefits of being human and alive.
