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?
Research studies have shown that when older adults practice mindfulness
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.
