In modern times, the anxiety and pressure from daily obligations and worries in various areas of their lives require new ways of management, so that each person can experience pleasant emotions, develop and be creative.
The term Mindfulness means remaining focused on the present, in the "here and now", observing what is happening around us and within us without a critical attitude, but with acceptance.
It is a skill that each person can cultivate through simple exercises.
• Physical exercises, with which we become aware of our body and its relationship with the environment
• Mental exercises for concentration and attention
• Exercises for identifying and accepting emotions and internal sensations
• Exercises for observing the environment and our relationships with people
• Both in the smooth flow of everyday life and in critical moments of life, with these exercises we gradually create an attitude of life, which has direct benefits for the quality of life as a whole:
• Cultivating a constant sense of peace
• Improving memory and concentration
• Better time management
• Clarity of mind
• Seeing things as they really are and accepting the present, which leads to a strengthening of the feeling of gratitude
• Stability of emotional state and association with other people with feelings of empathy, acceptance, honesty, compassion and true interest.
