10 Prompts to Mindfulness

Strengthen your mind-body connection

You are NOT your thoughts.

This can be difficult to remember when you get frustrated or overwhelmed, but it is an important distinction to make. Whether you are a cancer patient, survivor, caregiver, loved one, or simply looking to strengthen your mind-body connection, practicing mindfulness can help you center your thoughts and bring you back to contentment.

Thanks to the beauty of mindfulness, you can reinvigorate your thoughts and beliefs about who you are and what you are capable of.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is being fully present in the moment, and aware of your thoughts, feelings, and environment in a nurturing way. It involves accepting your feelings and thoughts without judgment and focusing on the present moment, rather than the past or future.

There is a powerful connection between mental health and physical health—a true mind and body connection—and a strong mindset can make a tremendous difference during life’s challenges.
