Mindfulness is about observation without criticism; being compassionate with yourself. Mindfulness equips us to navigate a world of cognitive assault. Mindfulness allows us to respond rather than react. As you are here now, reading the words coming on this page, you are practicing mindfulness, being actively present and finding the joy in this moment. By being here now, you are investing in yourself, in the quality of your day and how you feel about the world around you. Now, do you know how to maintain this? Do you know how to tap into this space when you need it most? My good friend Kelsey Abbott and I love dissecting the psychology wrapped around human experience and today we discuss all things mindfulness. This episode is the official first episode of a new podcast her and I are co-hosting called INWARD - an honest, humble exploration of who you are, why and how to recognize the beauty around you, even in the most unassuming of places.  www.theswimmechanic.com https://www.kelseyabbott.com
