Bringing mindfulness into your lifeAn extremely busy life, restlessness, ruminative thoughts, anxiety or pain; they often cause a lot of stress. This is bothering us and we tend to focus all our energy on these disturbances. It has to change, I can no longer cope with it. In the end there is very little awareness of the positive sides of life. Maybe you recognize this habit. You’re not the only one. Reduce stress, increase joyMost of us struggle with stress, fear and pain. Life doesn’t need to be like this. You too can learn to handle (work) stress and health issues in a balanced and effective way. Practicing mindfulness teaches us how to be present, here and now. This way we can easily let go of obstructing thoughts, emotions and tension. The Eight-week ProgramThe mindfulness training program has been developed by American scientist Jon Kabat-Zinn and is based on an eight week schedule. It combines elements of Eastern mindfulness techniques with the innovative insights of modern Western psychology. In the past decades thousands of people have followed the program. Throughout the years a lot of research has been done on the effects of mindfulness training.
