When mindfulness practices are incorporated into psychotherapy clients increase their capacity to:

• Live with awareness in the present moment.
• Observe thoughts and feelings.
• Manage stress and emotional discomfort.
• Behave intentionally with understanding of their motivations.
• Avoid being judgmental of self and others.
• Accept things as they are.
• Discern the benefits and consequences of their choices.
• Focus on how they show up.
• Let go of outcomes and attachment to their desires.
