The Power of Mindfulness

The Power of Mindfulness 

If there is one ability that you could learn that would make every single aspect of your life better, what would it be?

Undoubtedly, it would be the ability to control your emotions and to control the way you think.

This might sound like a surprising claim but the ability to control your emotions and the way you respond to a situation is not only the secret to happiness but also the secret to being able to get whatever you want from life.

Why? Because it’s our interpretation of events, more than the events themselves, that dictate our happiness, mood, and performance. Not only that, but our emotions and the neurotransmitters that control them are what alter our ability to focus, to remember information and to be creative.

Let’s imagine a scenario where you’re trapped inside a lorry that has turned over and is now hanging over the edge of a precipice. The slightest movement could ruin the balance and send you plunging to your death… bad times!
