An easy to follow guide to creating a mindful approach to life
In this updated Second Edition of Mindfulness, mindfulness expert Gill Hasson explains how, instead of rushing through your life, you can take things at a slower pace and feel calmer and more grounded. You will discover how being mindful opens you up to new ways of thinking and doing things, reducing stress and increasing your enjoyment of life.
With ideas, tips and techniques to help you enjoy a more mindful approach to life, you'll learn how to:
Adopt more positive ways of thinking and behaving
Become calmer and more confident
Let go of the past and break free from unhelpful thoughts and behaviour
Bring about positive changes in your relationships
Achieve a new level of self-awareness and understanding
Too often, you don't fully experience what is and is not happening now. Mindfulness explains how to be more aware and better able to stay in the present moment so that you can benefit from a fresh new approach to your life.
