What's playing on your mind?
From time to time, we all feel swamped by the pressures of life. From workplace stresses to money worries and family tensions to health concerns, sometimes it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. According to our survey, most people agree that the pace of modern life can cause stress, unhappiness and illness, and that slowing down and living in the moment would make us feel happier and healthier.
Mindfulness can help us to become more aware of our thoughts, feelings and worries so that we are able to deal with them in a more positive way. This can have a major impact on our state of mind, with knock-on benefits for our physical health.
We want more people to recognise the power of Mindfulness, so please tell us what's playing on your mind, and how Mindfulness has helped, or could help, to make a difference to you or someone you know.
In September 2010, LPA (Lisa Pritchard agency, www.lisapritchard.com) and the foundation launched a creative competition to the advertising and design industry challenging them to come up with an ad campaign that would promote stress and mindfulness. The winning design, by Will Thacker and Blake Waters of KK outlet (www.kkoutlet.com) was shot by LPA photographer Rob Murray and advertising space donated by Clear Channel to help take mindfulness to the streets.

I just took part in an eight weeks french course this winter. I was not the best of students. But I keep trying. And the training has already helped me a lot through difficult family events. And kept me positively investing in the present of life.

I stumbled across a MBSR course six months ago when I was desperately looking for help after a relationship break-up. It has transformed my life. Within days I was seeing my thoughts - and therefore my world - differently. I now have clarity, energy and calm, see problems quite differently to before, and relish my nourishing daily meditation. I firmly believe absolutely everyone can benefit from Mindfulness. If you can't find a course, read books on the subject - they can be enormously helpful.

Ben Fox from Bangor, Gwynedd
has try'd overcoming the problem which holds me back socially, personally and academically. Its something iv try'd forgetting about and moving on from, that hasn't worked. frustration builds when I cant put myself across in a clear manner, this has had a knock on affect on my self-esteem. Stress and anxiety overshadow a simple to the point answer, affecting the way I speak and my performance in most day to day things. Would like to know how to take part in MBSR sessions?
