Becoming Present Through Mindfulness
“Mindfulness is the process of actively noticing new things. When you do that, it puts you in the present. It makes you more sensitive to context and perspective. It’s the essence of engagement. And it’s energy-begetting, not energy-consuming… What’s stressful is all the mindless negative evaluations we make and the worry that we’ll find problems and not be able to solve them.”
– Researcher and professor Ellen Langer, from an interview with the Harvard Business Review
