Why Mindfulness is so important
Thoughts can be with us from morning to night without a break
Sometimes we hardly have time for life at all..
Painful thoughts, feelings and emotions about the past and future can overwhelm us too..
Thoughts and feelings can be so distressing we try to block them out or avoid them
Mindfulness can help to change all this.
Mindfulness alerts you to any negative cycles of thinking or behaviour
Your health and ability to concentrate and tolerate stress will improve
You will find it easier to deal with difficult situations and experiences
