Introduction to the Month of Mindfulness Challenge

Mindfulness is the practice of gently focusing your awareness on the present moment over and over again, free from distraction or judgment. Studies suggest that focusing on the present can have a positive impact on our health and well-being, reducing stress, improving memory, focus and attention and decreasing emotional reactivity. Mindfulness-based treatments have also been shown to reduce anxiety and depression, there's even  evidence that mindfulness can lower blood pressure and improve sleep. 

 

Before we begin season 2 of The Happier Life Project podcast we invite you to take part in our month of mindfulness challenge. Every day we will release a new short audio clip with a different mindfulness practice with the invitation to do something good for your state of mind every day for 30 days.
