For some people, purpose is connected to vocation, meaningful, satisfying work, Things to do.
5 Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you are sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgement. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.
A meditation exercise: focus on an aspect of your breathing, such as the sensations of air flowing into your nostrils and out of your mouth, or your belly rising and falling as you inhale and exhale.
Life Coaching: will help people navigate the complexities and uncertainties of life.
