Mindfulness Quotes To Bring You Back To The Present

Mindfulness is all about being in the present moment. Not dwelling on the past or projecting into the future. It is something we need practise in and reminders of. It is a very healthy habit to get into.

Can you challenge yourself to be completely present in the moment? Put down your phone, be attentive to your surroundings, immerse yourself in the company of others. How does it feel?
