• Description: The idea of mindfulness or being mindful is complete engagement in the present moment. It is a state where you are not thinking, reflecting, judging or deciding, but are instead simply experiencing the things currently in your available experience. In many ways people are largely unaware of the present moment. Even when we find ourselves in a quiet moment we automatically begin to daydream about others, plan/worry about the future or ruminate about the past. We miss living in the present moment because we fail to pay attention to it. Mindfulness is about waking up to the present moment and paying attention to your experience. This training discusses mindfulness and how to incorporate its practice into your life.

Balancing work, family and care-giving responsibilities can present some challenges.
