How can mindfulness reduce stress and anxiety and promote wellbeing? becoming more aware of the present moment can help us enjoy the world mindfulness allows us to become more aware of the stream of thoughts and feelings that we experience and to see how we can become entangled this lets us stand back from our thoughts and start to see their patterns – be an observer.

How can mindfulness reduce stress and anxiety and promote wellbeing? most of us have issues that we find hard to let go of and mindfulness can help us deal with them more productively - it puts the breaks on rumination and anticipatory anxiety awareness of this kind also helps us notice signs of stress or anxiety earlier and helps us deal with them better.
