Why should we be mindful? The Science of Us

- Science
Mindfulness is a term that has started to gain a lot of attention in recent years. Something that has been practiced for thousands of years through Buddhism and other cultures has now been advanced through apps like Calm, Headspace, Waking up and many more. But why do we need to be mindful at all? How does it help our minds navigate the crazy pace of life and get the space that we so desperately seek? To find out, we sat down with Lisa Forrest, Olympian and Commonwealth Games Champion. She talks through how she began to realise the power the mind had when it came to sport, her own experience of better understanding the mind body relationship and what mindfulness has done for the way she lives.
Check out Lisa's book, Glide, at all good bookstores, with a link here to find out more: https://www.booktopia.com.au/glide-lisa-forrest/book/9781760527891.html
