Really relevant for me ... I'm studying Mindfulness course at Monash Uni and this is a link adding more depth to the subject

Thank you for posting this great explanation on how mindfulness increases psychological resilience. I started my research a couple of years ago and I am writing a thesis on the subject but it was thrilling to hear my hypothesis confirmed by such revered experts.

Amazing pointers right there.... Mindfulness helps us to shift from the persistent negative thoughts that overshadow us and giving us an alternative thought to those negative thoughts.... It's time we separated our negative thoughts from the present....It's hard to be in the moment when you are persistently going through those negative thoughts over and over again.Let's forget about what happened to us, what people did to us and just be in the moment!

If you want to decrease the stress in your life, reduce the number of things that U take personally that really aren't about you.
