Imagine Yourself....PRESENT IN THE MOMENT, LESS JUDGEMENTAL OF SELF AND MORE SELF-COMPASSIONATE... Are you struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, stress and conflict? Well, you are not alone.... Taking the time to dive into mindfulness education just might help. But note, mindfulness isn't about feeling relaxed, its not a religion and not about changing our thoughts. There are actually 5 core components to mindfulness that help you address the feelings you are struggling with...

1) Cultivating attention - deciding when, how and what you pay attention to

2) Nonjudgement - refraining from creating an opinion on what you are paying attention to and what you are engaged in

3) Accepting the present moment - wholeheartedly taking in what is going on without resistance

4) Identification - stop believing that you are your thoughts or emotion, you are just the one directing your attention to those thoughts and emotions

5) Choice - make space between what is happening and what your reaction is, and truly decide how to proceed
