Mindfulness practices enable people to self-regulate their attention, emotions, behaviors, energy and mental balance, thus making them more resourceful. Practitioners of mindfulness reach their goals more easily because they are better at self-regulation.
Paying attention to what is in the present moment and accepting it with kindness gives an individual the ability to cope with uncertainty. It allows more space for improvisation and learning from mistakes. With self-regulation and kindness, it is also easier to manage difficult conversations by balancing empathy and intention.
