Mindfulness Journal

We created this journal in collaboration with African storytellers Joko Edu, to help you pursue mindfulness in your everyday life.

Mindfulness is a psychological term for bringing one’s attention to focus on the present. It is the process of conditioning the mind to be more aware. Mindfulness helps regulate our emotions, decreases stress, anxiety or depression, reduces blood pressure, and improves brain activity. The pursuit of mindfulness helps us better understand ourselves, settling our minds in a happy place where we embrace the things we cannot change while positively channelling our energy to the present. This essential part of life is often overlooked so here are four ways to practice mindfulness daily.
