Mindfulness

Return again and again to the moment (video)

07/10/2021

Mindfulness is often thought of as ‘being in the moment.’ It’s more about returning to the moment again and again.

That’s because our minds wander by default – so we have to keep bringing them back.

Returning again and again helps us to avoid getting lost in rumination.  Rumination means thinking negative thoughts over and over again.

Rumination can lead us towards depression or excessive anger so the ability to come out of it quickly is very valuable.

I have practised mindfulness since the late 1980s, have taught mindfulness throughout Ireland and in London, have demonstrated mindfulness on ITV, RTE and TV3 and have had books on mindfulness published in several countries and languages. I provide public and corporate courses. My latest book is "Daily Calm - 100 daily reminders to help you build the mindfulness habit." My aim is to make mindfulness easily accessible to people in their everyday lives.
