started with mindful practices in your everyday life.

Today, you will learn about the basics of mindfulness and really understand what it is 
and why people choose to add this practice to their lifestyle.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a state of being more aware and living in the moment. It allows you to 
live more fully and peacefully by always trying to be present, instead of regretting the 
past or stressing about the future. Being in a mindful state does take practice, but once 
you get used to this new mindset, you discover all the wonderful benefits.

How Mindfulness Benefits You

The next big question about mindfulness is typically WHY you should be doing it. If you 
can’t tell already, one of the top benefits of living more mindfully is that it brings you a lot

present. Here are some other benefits:

It can help to improve sleep. 
You become more productive. 
You have more creativity. 
You get help with emotional resilience. 
It reduces stress. 
You have better communication.

days of this series will cover ways to get started.
