About
Mindfulness is the concept of living in the present without distracting thoughts and worrying about the future, except in cases where it is actually helpful to do so. Today, mindfulness is a practice used by psychologists, doctors, and therapists to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
Living in the moment has proven health benefits, and not only helps you to live a better life, but also helps you to live a more productive one. Mindfulness aids concentration, can improve sleep, and increase memory retention, not just because you're paying attention when you're mindful, but also because of reduced stress.
This course will teach you to master mindfulness so you can begin integrating mindful practices into your daily life, to reduce stress, to increase happiness, and to ensure that you're living every day to its fullest.
