In one word, what's your mindset as we begin?

Mindfulness is simply paying attention to the present moment without judging what you find. It's not about emptying your mind or achieving perfect calm.

Think of it as becoming a curious observer of your own experience right now.

Can you name one thing you notice in this exact moment?

Here's why mindfulness accelerates decisions: when your attention is scattered across past regrets and future worries, you can't process current information clearly.

Mindfulness brings your mental resources back to the present where decisions actually happen.

Can you recall a moment when worry clouded your judgment?

Mental clutter acts like having 20 browser tabs open - everything slows down. Your brain burns energy jumping between thoughts instead of focusing on what matters now.

Mindfulness is like closing those extra tabs to free up processing power.

How many mental "tabs" do you have running right now?

Let's try a simple attention-anchoring exercise. Focus on your breath for 30 seconds. Don't change it, just notice it.

When your mind wanders (it will!), gently return attention to breathing. This wandering and returning is the practice, not a failure.
