To be mindful means to be aware, human beings evidence various degrees of awareness. When we are less aware or less mindful, our ability to learn, change and adapt is limited.

Mindfulness approaches (e.g. focused awareness, healthy breathing, mindful movement and relaxation) strengthen skills of awareness, attention, focus, and concentration through training of the mind.

By strengthening an inner locus of control, we foster greater mental fitness, emotional intelligence, and physical well-being to relate and respond to life's moment-to-moment challenges and opportunities.
