State of Being

For many of us, there is a belief (or illusion) that when we are truly present our mood, energy, and focus is dependent upon, or greatly impacted by, the many interruptions, individuals, and circumstances that come our way on a moment-to-moment basis.

Validation Versus Confirmation Mindfulness

Validation Versus Confirmation
