Mindfulness in everyday life and daily mindfulness exercises can lead to lasting relaxation. The respective exercises do not work through thinking, but through perception and letting go. Mindfulness helps with:

• For depression
• In case of stress
• For anxiety disorders
• For eating disorders
• For burnout
• For pain
• For skin diseases
• For cancer
• For HIV
• For addiction problems

Mindfulness exercises in everyday life do not make complaints such as chronic pain go away, but by approaching them from a different perspective, their agonizing effect can be reduced.

Mindfulness can be easily integrated into everyday life with the right mindfulness exercises. It is not necessary to change your daily routine or learn complicated techniques.

Mindfulness can be practiced as soon as you get out of bed. Instead of hastily jumping out of bed, you could, for example, lie down for a few minutes longer and consciously perceive the impressions around you. This awareness can also be practiced when commuting on the train or bus. At work, you can also treat yourself to a few minutes of mindfulness and relaxation by consciously noticing what is happening around you, regardless of what comes to mind - the main thing is that you can let go of your thoughts about your job for a moment. In the evening, you could also take a few minutes to let go of the day completely, without judgment.

The abbreviation MBSR stands for "Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction", which can be translated as follows: Stress management through mindfulness.

MBSR is an 8-week course developed by Prof. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, the effects of which on mental and physical well-being have been scientifically proven.

The focus of the MBSR week course is on promoting mindfulness. This means being aware of the present moment without getting lost in thoughts, judgments, worries and fears. With regular mindfulness exercises, you can practice consciously dealing with everyday stress, which contributes to a better quality of life. Such mindfulness exercises are also an important part of the MBSR week course.

The target group of a mindfulness course, training or further education can basically include educators, teachers, theologians or coaches, but also managers from various industries as well as people who want to get to know the values of mindfulness in order to be able to pass them on.

Mindfulness in everyday life is suitable for everyone, regardless of gender, age, health or spiritual/religious orientation.

In fact, the method of being mindful is a universal form of inner attitude. Although this is an important element of many traditions with a spiritual or religious basis, it is considered neutral in itself.
