In this day and age, there is a huge emphasis on multitasking and increasing productivity for a better future. We have been hard wired to go-go-go, and do more with less time. This lifestyle inherently produces stress and anxiety because we juggle so many tasks each day, and end up worrying about the future. Mindfulness practice helps you to simply focus on the present moment without judgement even if it’s just for a few minutes each day. Practicing mindfulness can help sway the perception of stress and anxiety. This allows us to focus on what we can control, and not waste energy on life’s uncontrollable outcomes or cast unnecessary judgements.
