Using Mindfulness to turn stress into strength

It may seem unnatural at first, but sometimes the key to controlling how events affect our lives is by letting go of how much they control us. This is the cornerstone behind mindfulness-based stress reduction, a form of meditation that teaches you how to live more fully in the present moment. Rather than suppressing or resisting change and negative experiences, you learn how to respond more effectively to the events life brings your way. Cultivating the art of moment-to-moment awareness, you'll discover the inner strength to deal with whatever happens, good or bad. You'll also form a better connection to your loved ones, you environment, and most importantly, to yourself.
