Mindfulness is being in the present moment, aware of what is happening in that moment as it is happening, with a nonjudgmental attitude. The GEN2050®️ Program was designed with mindfulness-based practices at its foundation. Over the last 40 years, many research studies have found mindfulness-based practices enhance social emotional wellness, reduce the impacts of stress, as well as increase a person’s ability to express compassion and gratitude. In this episode, Dr. Gus Castellanos, M.D., retired neurologist and lead mindfulness instructor for the GEN2050®️ Program, talks with Savannah Travers about mindfulness. (www.gen2050.com)
