It's about noticing yourself and noting how you experience yourself in the moment. But, how much of our waking hours are spent being present and mindful? Is it possible to have a fully functioning life and be mindful at the same time? Does one need to join a convent or meditate in order to be mi...

Nobody is immune to experiencing pain. Physical, mental, emotional, psychological pain affects us in so many ways and can impact the way we experience life and can drastically affect how we show up.
