Mindfulness- A moment to Renew and to Recharge
While minds were made to think, sometimes our wandering minds can drive us far away from the present moment. By practicing mindfulness, we can bring our awareness back to the present, offering an opportunity to reenergize and achieve greater clarity and intention. Leverage agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis for high level overviews.
