What will I do?
We are bombarded with all kinds of external impulses on a daily basis: text messages, advertisements, e-mails, television, and conversations. Our eyes and ears are constantly working. Because of these influences, you are mainly focused on the outside world. But what do you want actually? What's important to you? What path do you want to follow? By regularly closing yourself off to all these stimuli, you concentrate on your own feelings and thoughts. You can then focus on yourself and discover the things that motivate you. And very important, what makes you happy

Being mindful, or in other words, being present in the here and now. Sounds wonderful, but it can be pretty difficult. How can you be in the here and now if you have to prepare for an important exam, you have to pick up your son at daycare, your partner's birthday is tomorrow, and you have to bring the car to the garage? There are so many things that distract us from the moment that it's almost impossible to be aware of what's going on in the here and now, right? Well, it's high time to do something about it and this mindfulness training will help you get there.
