We’ve teamed up with Aetna to show you how you can cultivate a focused awareness ― which is the essence of mindfulness ― and apply it to common activities in your life. By taking the time to practice these steps, you’ll not only start to appreciate the little things in life, but you’ll help your brain and body manage stress. Before you know it, you could be on the path to a happier, healthier you.
