Mindfulness
Mindfulness is demonstrated when you pay your full attention to something or someone. When you are being mindful you are paying attention to all of your surroundings. Mindfulness occurs when you are able to slow down and enjoy the moment.
Giving Your Full Attention
Mom is giving her daughter the opportunity to express herself and capitalize on her environment
In the Moment
When you are being mindful, you are paying attention to everything goin on around you with your five senses.
Slow Down
Mindfulness is achieved if you are able to slow down to enjoy the moment
Reset
When we practice mindfulness, we gain the ability to reset our emotions. We have the opportunity to gain control of our breathing, and calm and aroused body. A mindful reset allows us to stay true to our intentions!
