If mindfulness sounds confusing or overwhelming, you’re not alone. Many people feel like they just don’t have the time or patience to start a mindfulness practice.

Fortunately, Dr. William Kuyken says we can incorporate mindfulness into our everyday lives without meditating. Dr. Kuyken is a renowned psychologist professor, and author who specializes in Depression and mindfulness. His research has found that incorporating mindfulness in everyday activities has tremendous Mental Health benefits, like decreased depression and improved Relationships.

Some of the things we talk about are:

• What it means to be mindful
• The benefits of mindfulness and how it improves mental health
• How mindfulness shifts the way you think and feel
• Strategies for incorporating mindfulness into everyday life
• How mindfulness benefits children (and what some schools are getting wrong)
• How mindfulness leads to personal Growth in some unexpected ways
