By Sara Elliott Price

Mindfulness Will Change Your Life -- Learn How To Start Living Each Day To The Fullest!

Are you tired of feeling stressed, and never having enough time? Would you like to have more happiness, peace, and love? Maybe you just want to stop procrastinating and create a better life for yourself?

No Matter What Problems You're Facing, Mindfulness Is The Answer...

Mindfulness is a philosophy that teaches us that in order to live a happy and productive life we must live in the present moment. Unfortunately, in today's world we live in the exact opposite way. We are present everywhere except right here, right now. You could even say that we live according to the philosophy of mindlessness. Always rushing, always multitasking but never stopping to actually live. 

"Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life."- Seneca

Our Mind Wanders Either In The Memories Of Our Past Or In The Dreams Of Our Future...

We feel there are always more important things to do, more things we have to get done. So we give the present moment just enough attention to get by but nothing more. If we do become mindful of our present situation, we see that our real life and our ideal dream life are worlds apart. 

To forget this fact we seek distractions in the form of reality television shows, cute cat pictures, social media, alcohol, shopping, fast food, drugs and anything else that numbs us to the current moment and our true feelings. 

But this is no way to live!

Introduction

"Y esterday is history . Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!" - Unknown

How many of us appreciate the gift of the present? We all want to be successful. We all want to be happy. And this pursuit of happiness drives us to work hard and stay busy. We rush from one task to another, struggling all the while to keep all our balls up in the air. By the time we sort out one thing, 10 new problems crop up. We lament the past and worry about our future and can't stand the present. No wonder we are all so stressed out!

To relieve this stress we seek distractions. Luckily for us we live in the age of information overload. There are distractions left, right and center. Everyday we have to catch up with new emails, blog feeds and news articles. A plethora of social networks fight for our attention, every minute of the day. TV shows and movies help us momentarily escape the misery of our present. Advertisements bombard us with enticing desires, no matter where we are. Alcohol, cigarettes and drugs provide the ultimate escape. If you can escape these addictions you might find yourself addicted to much subtler drugs such as the sugar rush of a quick snack or the fleeting elation of buying unnecessary stuff with money you don't have.

The culture today deals with emotions and problems through distractions. This strategy doesn't work at all and we end up with a lot of stress and disorders such as anxiety, attention deficit disorder and depression. We've tried a lot of methods for relieving this stress.

Now a new movement is gaining momentum. It's called mindfulness and has become very popular in corporate circles as a stress relieving technique.

It is an ancient practice to live life in a way that prevents the build up of stress in the first place. The best way to deal with stress is to avoid building it up to unmanageable
