Pain is inevitable... Suffering is optional. We will all have to endure trauma and challenges. What matters is how we move forward afterward. Do we keep carrying the trauma and its causes in our mind? Or can we find a way to let go of them, to end our own suffering?... This is where mindfulness can help us. David Michie

Pain is inevitable... Suffering is optional. We will all have to endure trauma and challenges. What matters is how we move forward afterward.

Do we keep carrying the trauma and its causes in our mind? Or can we find a way to let go of them, to end our own suffering?...This is where mindfulness can help us. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way—in the present moment—in order to better understand ourselves and the world around us. It’s a natural gift, but it can be learned with practice, and it can help us feel more at peace with ourselves and with the world around us.
