Mindfulness

Do you ever feel as though you have so much on your mind that you can't possibly relax?
You're not alone.
You may find the practice of mindfulness helpful.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary* as "a state of intense concentration on one's own thought processes; self-awareness."

Instead of worrying about the future or regretting the past, you are focused on the present moment.
How does one achieve this enviable state?
