We become more productive and more efficient. We’re not as stressed out so we can sustain our energy longer.We can’t control outside factors. But we can control our reaction to them.We can take a mindful break anytime, anywhere.The definition of mindfulness -- or the one I like to use -- is being aware of what’s happening in the moment with an attitude of kindness and curiosity and acceptance.-- On dealing with the mind wandering off during meditationOur mind will never stop wandering off. That’s what it’s designed to do. It’s about noticing when we wander off, where we wander off to, and then bringing our attention back.Get Connected with Shonda Moralis: http://shondamoralis.net/Resources Mentioned in the EpisodeBreathe, Mama, Breathe: 5-Minute Mindfulness for Busy Moms by Shonda MoralisBreathe, Empower, Achieve: 5-Minute Mindfulness for Busy Women by Shonda MoralisSign up for Shonda’s email list and you’ll get resources like a free 5Support the show (https://paypal.me/leadwithlevity)
