Fun Fact
There is an ongoing experiment where people are phoned at random times and asked 3 questions. What are you doing? How immersed are you in what you are doing? How satisfied are you? Consistent results show that those people who are fully engaged in present moment experience in an accepting way (mindful), are generally more satisfied than those who are distracted, regardless of what they are doing.
This means that someone who is mindfully washing the dishes is more likely to say they are happy than someone on a cruise in the Caribbean who is distracted. Or someone dealing with a difficult situation may be more satisfied than someone having a day off work but thinking about the past or the future.
Mindfulness practice not only offers the possibility of greater satisfaction but a way to engage with the present moment, without becoming overwhelmed - think the current fires, difficult relationships and just the daily stress that life throws at you.

An 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course provides an excellent opportunity to try on the experience of mindfulness. This course can help with depression, anxiety, chronic health problems, ADHD being more present in the moment and general life stress. Just google MBSR and any of these struggles to find a research paper.
The 8-weeks formula is tried and tested. The times allows you to engage with the practice, to make mistakes, to ask questions, to experiment, and to find out what works for you in your life.
The course teaches formal (meditation) and informal (in daily life) mindfulness practice and integrates this with concepts from western psychology.
MBSR is the course that a large percentage of the better-quality mindfulness research has investigated. An MBSR course is not an easy thing, it takes some commitment and effort. It is not a panacea for all ills. However, you may find it infinitely rewarding. It is a type of self care.
