As I complete my training to facilitate Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction programs, this study keeps resonating. This Harvard study found that when left to our own devices, and unaware, our minds wander; dredging up memories from the past or worry about the future, i.e. nowhere good. It suggests that happiness is by found by bringing our minds back again and again to present moment awareness.

I am excited to be offering the MBSR program very soon. Please contact me if you are interested in learning more!

People spend 46.9 percent of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they’re doing, and this mind wandering typically makes them unhappy, according to research by Harvard psychologists Matthew A. Killingsworth and Daniel T. Gilbert.
