Caring for others, pressures at work, unresolved trauma, worrying about health, finances, the nightly news…

As a behavioral health specialist, I’ve seen what chronic stress can do to us—intense anxiety, high blood pressure, sleepless nights, a depressing mood. This kind of stress not only wears us down emotionally—it affects our energy, mental clarity, and health. It’s also a major cause of addiction.

Here’s the good news: MINDFULNESS!

I’m Paul Nelson, and I’ve been practicing mindfulness for many years. I’ve seen how it gently keeps bringing our attention back to the present moment, allowing us to let go of stressful thoughts and feelings and “enter the Now.” Here, we find the peace we’ve been missing—our body relaxes, mind clears, and mood brightens. Practiced regularly, and many other health-related benefits begin to flourish.

Being present isn’t difficult. It’s cultivated through simple, time-tested mindfulness exercises, like breathwork and body scans. I call these touchstones, anchoring us into presence. More recent techniques—like reframing negative thoughts and soothing the vagus nerve—also help foster mindfulness. And yes, there’s plenty of research to back up all of these methods.

The challenge? Finding the right exercises that best meet your needs and sustaining these practices over time.

That’s why I created ENTER THE NOW.
