The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it. —Thich Nhat Hanh

ENTER THE NOW

Let’s be honest—life is stressful. There are enough worries, fears, regrets, and not-so-healthy cravings to keep us all in a bad mood and seeking relief. It can feel like someone’s slammed the door on our happiness and tossed the key away.

Here’s the good news! Your happiness hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s still there, waiting. You just need a little help unlocking that door.

MINDFULNESS is the key. It allows you to move past stressful thoughts and feelings and enter the NOW, that place in yourself where peaceful, joyful feelings are still alive and well…and waiting for you to return!

Here are three important things to know about mindfulness:

  1. Nature has already encoded your brain with attention skills needed to bring you into the NOW. They just need a little tuning-up!

  2. Gentle practices exercise these skills. But mindfulness is more than meditation. It’s an art (and science!), drawing on a variety of exercises proven to keep you in-tune with the Now.

  3. Being present relaxes your body, quiets your mind, even gives you momentary glimpses of bliss—such as awe, wonder, and delight. But there are more benefits waiting for you, if you’re present often enough.
