It's not aboutNaval gazing.

Let's clear one thing up...

What is mindfulness?

Page 3: Mindfulness: Reduce Stress and Boost Wellbeing

Definition from Jon Kabat-Zinn:

"Paying attention in aparticular way, on purpose, in the present moment, &

non-judgmentally."

Page 4: Mindfulness: Reduce Stress and Boost Wellbeing

What does that mean... in real life?

"Mindfulness is a part of living.When you are mindful you are fully alive, you are fullypresent. You can get in touch with the wonders of lifethat can nourish you & heal you. And you are stronger,

you are more solid in order to handle the suffering insideof you & around you. When you are mindful, you can

recognize, embrace & handle the pain, the sorrow in you& around you.... If you continue with concentration &

insight, you’ll be able to transform the suffering inside &help transform the suffering around you."

-Thich Nhat Hanh
