Hello Followers,

Welcome to Tuesday!

The secret of being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of every day.

Dan and I today will explore whether mindfulness makes you happier.

Practicing mindfulness is associated with experiencing more positive emotions, research suggests.

Mindfulness involves slowing down and focusing on and appreciating aspects of your experience, as well as accepting your thoughts and emotions, viewing them with openness, curiosity, and kindness.

The ability to release control and criticism may be the reason mindfulness fosters happiness.

How do you practice mindfulness?

You can practice mindfulness in meditation sessions or in smaller moments throughout the day.

Draw your attention to your breath, and to the sensations of your body and surroundings.

Observe the thoughts and emotions you experience without judgment, simply acknowledging and labelling them.

Later, exploring why those emotions surfaced may help address underlying challenges.

Tomorrow’s post, why do relationships make you happy?
