In our busy and fast moving society we often juggle multiple tasks at the same time, such as work, parenting, social events, study - the list goes on. This can often lead to stress building up over time and we tend to feel more run down, tired, anxious, depressed, or suffer from health complaints such as headaches.
We often find ourselves getting carried away by worrying thoughts about the future or revisiting events from the past. Kids are also increasingly turned outward to external stimuli, often overscheduled, and taking less time to rest in stillness. Mindfulness helps to turn our attention inwards and becoming more aware of our experience in the here and now - the only moment we actually have, the present.
