Feeling overwhelmed?
Hi Neighbours - If you feel like you can easily get swamped or snowed under, that is something Mindfulness can help with. My clients report that practicing mindfulness helps them feel they can cope better with stressful situations, feeling less overwhelmed.
Mindfulness trains us to paying attention to the present moment, which creates space to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.
