Do Your Habits Help You to Be Happy?
Our habits support our health. Still, we get caught in negative patterns around how we live, how we eat, how we sleep, and more. Mindfulness practice can change our relationship to habits in every aspect of life that have a big impact on our health and well-being. Habits can seem impossible to shift, but with increased awareness, clarity and intention, we can change them.
