Mindfulness a way to reduce stress

Lately I have been seeing the word mindfulness associated with many activities and I have wondered what the hype is about.  Lately there have been several articles posted about mindful eating as a way to stay healthy.  During the month of October, there is a free mindfulness summit.  For 31 days you can log into the website to learn how to use mindfulness to reduce the stresses of daily life.  I have decided to commit to this summit and will try to log in everyday.  Mindfulness involves meditation, so tonight's homework is a 6 minute meditation.  If you would like to join me in this journey, here is the website.
