Why practise mindfulness?
The world around us can be demanding and at times overwhelming. It's easy to fall out of step with what's going on around us and end up overthinking or stuck 'in our heads'.
Mindfulness is a great technique that can help you have more awareness and control over your thoughts and how they make you feel. Mindfulness can help you:
- Notice how your thoughts come and go
- Become more aware of how your body feels
- Create space between you and your thoughts
There's no right or wrong way to do mindfulness, but it can be helpful to set aside some time regularly to practise. With our mindfulness sessions, you can practise mindfulness at anytime that works for you.
