Life can be challenging and when we feel over-stimulated and disconnected it is costly to our wellbeing. Dreaming of what-ifs and maybes in the future, while regretting and being trapped by our past means we are distracted from living life in the moment. Mindfulness trains the mind to be observant and responsive to the many challenges we face every day. Curiosity through practicing mindfulness helps to build a resilient and flexible mind that can free us from the thoughts that would otherwise overwhelm and control us. The Practice of Mindfulness and Balance offers tips and tools to become present and aware of the right-now by recognising thoughts and feelings as they appear. Written by New Zealand mindfulness practitioner Rita Riccola, the book offers simple strategies to deal with the everyday challenges of life that we all face.
