Sample Book Insights:

#1 Mindfulness is about learning how to train your attention to stay in the present instead of ruminating over the past or racing into the future. The more you practice, the more mindful you become, and the more you see the world as it really is.

#2 Mindfulness is the awareness that arises when we deliberately direct our attention toward our inner experience, others, and the environment around us. It is about your mindset, and it reinforces a mindset of being open, receptive, accepting, and compassionate.

#3 Your brain and nervous system are designed to keep you alive. Your brain’s own alarm system is scanning for threats and triggering the flight-fight-freeze stress response to escape what you interpret as danger.

#4 Mindfulness helps you navigate the complex world, and it also helps you with the inevitable challenges that life brings – both the joy and the pain. You have the choice of how to relate to the experience, and how to respond to it.
