Mindfulness and relaxation
Mindfulness is about being engaged in the present moment. It's a state in which we are not thinking, reflecting, judging or deciding; we simply are experiencing what is before us. Mindfulness is one of the most effective ways to respond to personal stress because it forces us to focus on the here and now rather than on worries about the future or regrets about the past. With that in mind, here are some tools for promoting your own personal mindfulness.
