What Is Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a buzz word in the corporate world since 10 years, well documented as a potent way to not only cope with, but excel in life. With the vast health benefits of this practice, we are all attempting to bring greater Mindfulness into our workplaces, our daily life and our homes.

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of how we feel, where we are, what we’re doing, and more.

Being mindful, at work and in life, allows us not to overly react or feel easily overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.

​While Mindfulness is something we all naturally possess, it’s more readily available to us when we practice on a daily basis

Psychology Today
"Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you're mindful, you carefully observe your thoughts and feelings without judging them good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to your current experience, rather than dwelling on the past or anticipating the future."

If you think that’s not so bad, for perspective, war-torn Damascus in Syria is eleventh. Baghdad, Iraq; Kabul, Afghanistan; Lagos, Nigeria; Dakar, Senegal; and Cairo, Egypt make up the top five. A big chunk of the least stressful cities is in Europe, with four German cities in the top ten.

The study by UK-based dry-cleaning and laundry service Zipjet assessed the usual indicators: traffic levels, public transport, percentage of green spaces, but also the financial status of citizens including debt levels, their physical and mental health, and the hours of sunlight the city gets per year." ....
