For those who are considering MINDFULNESS as a catalyst for personal change in the new year.
It's a normal tendency for humans to be worried about the past or the future.
Unfortunately that tension and stress can detract from us living in a state of active, open attention on the present.
The challenge is to quiet down and fade out those imaginary tigers that are chasing us.
When the mind is more calm, then thinking is a bit more clear and decision-making is often easier and wiser.
