A commitment to living for the moment can have a big impact on your health. In meditation circles this practice is called mindfulness.
Mindfulness is an attitude toward living that involves simply keeping your attention in the present moment, without judging it as happy or sad, good or bad. It encourages living each moment—even painful ones—as fully as possible. It is a way of calmly and consciously observing and accepting whatever is happening, moment to moment.
Being more aware of your present experiences helps you remove the emotion from your thoughts and helps you slow things down and focus, which in turn is good for your health. In mind, in body, and in spirit—which is exactly what you need to truly thrive.
