Have you ever forgotten what you are doing or why you are doing it?
Do you experience physical discomfort and then worry about it?
Do you get lonely?

on a regular basis, they experience improvements in memory, have an easier
time dealing with pain, and diminish loneliness, anxiety and depression.
Cultivating a mindfulness practice can significantly boost your quality of life.
