Mindfulness Training

Picture
Mindfulness has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity over the past decade. However, the tenets of mindfulness, drawn mainly from Stoic and Buddhist philosophies, have existed for thousands of years. People from all walks of life have embraced these principles to help them regulate their emotions, gain focus, and promote metacognitive awareness. Whether you're seeking to master your inner dialogue, or simply hone your cognitive skillset, mindfulness training can help. 

"The happiness of your life depends on the quality
​of your thoughts, therefore guard accordingly"

​- Marcus Aurelius

Mindfulness is a nonjudgmental awareness of one's inner thoughts and emotions from one moment to the next. Defining it in this manner allows one to regard mindfulness as a state of mind, rather than a character trait; thus, being mindful has nothing to do with your natural temperament - it is accessible to everyone who puts in the practice. Numerous studies have found that mindfulness training can improve focus, boost working memory, promote cognitive flexibility, reduce rumination and bias, regulate emotional reactivity, and much more.

​Given the demands of modern society and the ever-present flow of information we encounter in our day-to-day lives, it is no wonder many people have gravitated toward mindfulness training to help them enjoy an abundant life. While the tenets of mindfulness are simple, it can take some time and effort to make them stable mental habits. Our therapists will work with you to develop these mental habits in a natural and practical way. Contact us today to find out more!
