Description

Mindful & Happy Weekend Retreat in Santa Barbara We all want to be happy. We want to be fulfilled. And one thing is for sure, mindfulness can help you live a happier, more fulfilling life. With mindful awareness, you can be happier: happier with yourself, the choices you make, the life you live, and the experiences you have. That’s because with mindfulness, you don’t miss out on all the good stuff. You become less distracted, and less checked out. Mindfulness helps you to be more aware of the beauty of the life you are living, as well as the miraculous world around you. It helps you to savor your relationships, and the variety of experiences you get to have. You also become more aware of what’s happening inside of you – tuning in and paying attention to your inner landscape: what you think, feel, and know to be true. There is no better time to deepen your mindfulness practice than NOW. Yes, mindfulness can help with the ongoing stress of COVID. And the New Year is also a time to refresh and start anew. But really, the reason is simply because there is no better time than NOW. The foundation of mindfulness is to be present right here, right NOW. Are you delaying to live more fully “after COVID” or setting some goals to achieve in the future? Happiness isn’t found in the future. It is found right here, right NOW. Mindfulness is a skill that anyone can learn, cultivate, and benefit from. Mindfulness is a natural way of living that can be enhanced with practice. You see, mindfulness is a specific kind of attention, it is the opposite of being distracted, unfocused, multitasking, or daydreaming. Instead, mindfulness is the ability to pay attention on purpose to what you want – when you want. When you are mindful, your attention is characterized by attitudes of openness, curiosity, and acceptance. You develop more presence, balance, and clarity. When you are mindful, you notice your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and sense perceptions without being swept away by them. You choose nourishing people and experiences and take better care of yourself. Mindfulness is definitely a key to a happier life.
