#stress – Do you think this team is worried about the upcoming holidays? They succeed when they stay singularly focused on the present – today – the immediate goal in front of them. What is your goal today? Are you focused on it? Do you allow the worries of tomorrow to derail your focus on today? This month join me in being more present to ourselves and those we love each day. Go Team USA!
“New research published in the Journal of Research in Personality shows that present-moment awareness, a key feature of mindfulness, increases stress resilience and effective coping…This effect was seen both the same day, and in response to a different stressor the next day, linking present-moment awareness practice to long-term stress reduction. These findings persisted even after accounting for people’s bad moods, and the degree to which stressors were perceived as threatening.” https://ift.tt/JnQ4MIf.
