Is your mind like a shaken snow globe?
(you’re in the right place)

Mindfulness is the
practice of bringing
clarity and concentration
to your moment-by-
moment experience.

It’s the ability to see what’s happening...
Not as we hoped it would be.
Not as we expected it to be.
Not seeing more or less. Not with judgments...

…but exactly what is here. Just as it is.

You can’t make good decisions in
a mental state offrenzy worry
anger or frustration.

And since your choices create your reality...
…you need to own them.

Accepting your experience as it is
allows you to respond versus react.
(even if you don’t li
ke
it)

Why do we react
emotionally in the first place?

Mindfulness calms your biological triggers(allowing you to make better decisions as
a result)

Because when the **** hits the fan…
…you need to be on your game THE MOST.

Once you become self-aware, you can help others do the same.

The events of your life do not change
according to whether you are happy or
unhappy about them.

Purposeful pauses allow you to center into the moment.
Are you content? Are you emotional? Are you fearful? Are you future-tripping? Are you living in the past?

Mindfulness brings you back to the present where you can choose your response.

In the process, be on the lookout for emotion…
…but don’t run from it.

can feel emotion without being overwhelmed by what
you feel.
