Update March 2020
Consider how frequently we live our lives not being present. We dwell on the past. We worry about the future. All we really have is the present moment, yet we stray from it so easily. We hurry through life always feeling that we should be somewhere else, doing something else. We miss the beauty of the day, the taste of our food, and time with those we love.
Mindfulness has been an important addition to my life and my
work with clients. Learning to control our breathing helps us capture the
present moment and offers a wonderful way to
"pause". We can learn to make the moment happy--rather
than searching frantically for some moment to make us happy.
I have incorporated many of these exercises and principles
into my work with clinical and corporate clients, and with athletes wanting to
improve performance.
