If mindfulness sounds confusing or overwhelming, you're not alone. Many people feel like they just don't have the time or patience to start a mindfulness practice.

Fortunately, Dr. William Kuyken says we can incorporate mindfulness into our everyday lives without meditating. Dr. Kuyken is a renowned psychologist professor, and author who specializes in depression and mindfulness. His research has found that incorporating mindfulness in everyday activities has tremendous mental health benefits, like decreased depression and improved relationships.
