In this session, we'll be exploring 'Goals'. As we know, mindfulness encourages us to re-balance the focus of our attention so that we spend more time in the present moment.

An excessive focus on the future is one of the most common obstacles in the cultivation of mindful awareness. The default mode for many of us, particularly in our work, is a “doing mode” that's constantly focused on reaching present and future goals, and therefore focused on the future. We'll understand the potential pitfalls of this, and look at how we might use mindfulness to find a better balance between being in the present moment and planning for the future. We'll also explore the benefits of a grateful relationship with the present moment.
