Benefits of Mindfulness
According to the Mental Health Institute, mindfulness can help you understand your emotions better, cope better with difficult thoughts, feel calmer, boost your attention and concentration, even improve your relationships.
But mindfulness doesn’t have to look like sitting cross-legged on a mat. It can be practiced when doing the dishes, when navigating traffic, even while preparing for your annual performance review.
