Mindfulness - NOT amateur radio

This is one of those "new age" phrases that many find annoying.

What it is really trying to get you to do is live and enjoy the "now".  We are often crowded out by thoughts and worries in our heads and forget to enjoy the simple pleasures all around us right now. 

Often the most mundane thing is pleasurable, but we are too busy worrying to just enjoy it.

Living "in the moment" - NOT amateur radio

A lot of us spend a lot of our time worrying about tomorrow. Often, what we most fear does not happen!

There is a technique which may help. This has rapidly turned into a word for our time, but there is good science behind it. Mindfulness.

Sometimes we have to think about tomorrow, but perhaps we spend too much of our time needlessly worrying, when we should concentrate on enjoying the good things around us now.
