is your family mindful?
Our attention is so often focused on what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow—we miss the right now.Sometimes we get jarred out of the present by our schedules, cellphones, and to-do lists. We often fail to stop and savor what we are doing with the people we are doing it with.Â

Practicing mindfulness can help your family experience less stress and tension and focus more on the joy of being together.
