Mindfulness & Meditation

As many of you have heard me discuss, longevity is a balance of lifespan (living longer) and healthspan (living better). One of the key elements of living better is addressing your mental and emotional health.

Mindfulness (or self-awareness) is the ability to know what’s happening in your head at any given moment without getting carried away by it. Meditation is like exercise for your mind; it is a powerful and practical tool to help us develop mindfulness, self-awareness, and compassion — all of which support emotional health and well-being.
