Mindfulness can be used as a strategy for managing difficult situations and emotions. It is a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and sensations.

This talk with psychologist Kim Slender will give you an understanding of the neuroscience behind why mindfulness works, the way your brain functions as a result of stress, and some easy to use strategies to start practising straight away.
