You’ll find practical, easy-to-follow exercises on how to integrate mindfulness into everyday life. You’ll also be able to put pen to paper in many sections for journalling. You might like to use this workbook as a way to practise mindfulness each day, you may carve out a dedicated time each week to work through these pages or perhaps you only pick up this workbook from time to time. There is no right or wrong way to use this workbook; all that matters is that it acts as a loving, compassionate and insightful companion to your mindful life. "
