Mindfulness

When you begin to practice mindfulness, you can change your way of thinking and become aware of how your thought process affects everything around you. At GR8NESS, we help you identify your current mindset and provide actionable steps to improve your mental health and well-being.

From stress to emotional intelligence, time management skills to self-image, and mental health, our mind care section covers it all.

Mind Care

We empower readers to take back control of their thoughts, look at what may be holding them back, and then explain ways that you can move forward. Here at GR8NESS, we believe that there is nothing you cannot overcome.

You cannot be well physically until you are well mentally. On a journey of self-development, everything begins with mindfulness. It is essential to work on yourself from the inside out. After all, beauty comes from within.

Providing Tools for the Mind

Our GR8EST goal is to provide readers with tools for everyday life that can improve your state of mindfulness. We believe in setting goals, recognizing milestones, learning new skills, and becoming more aware of what is going on around us.

To improve the health of the mind, you must be present in the here and now. You cannot go back to yesterday, nor can you skip ahead to tomorrow.

The GR8NESS mind care section provides helpful worksheets, monthly challenges, videos, infographics, and more. As we embark on our journey of developing mindfulness, we encourage you to follow along. GR8NESS is a community and we believe there is power in numbers. We invite you to share your feedback, ideas, and questions with us.

Mental Health

Sometimes, we focus on our physical health, jobs, school, or loved ones so intently that we allow our mental health to fall by the wayside. It happens to all of us. However, to be the best version of ourselves and care for those around us, we must first be in a healthy state mentally.

The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 1 in 6 adults are affected by mental health issues every year and that nearly everyone will be affected at some point in their lives. Whether you struggle with seasonal depression, social anxiety, ADHD, or other conditions, we’re here to let you know you are not alone.

Self-Development

Self-development is a journey of progress, whether it be spiritually, emotionally, professionally, or otherwise. Any time you set a goal, you are reaching towards a better self. Employing the use of mindfulness techniques, capitalizing on your strengths, and having a can-do mindset can help you get there.

Stress

We live in a fast-paced world. Text messages, e-mails, long work hours, and the need to maintain a social life and spend time with family. There’s no doubt that everyone feels stressed at times.

Whether you experience chronic stress or situational stress, there are mindfulness techniques that can help ease the feeling. From breathing exercises and quick activities that you can do when you’re on-the-go, we’re here to help you let go of that stress, so you can remain calm and focused.

Time Management

It can feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. Students, professionals, parents, children, and siblings all feel the time crunch. With effective time management techniques, you can alleviate those pressing feelings, become more organized, and improve your productivity. We’re here to help you get started.

Brain Training

The human brain is a complex thing. When you’re looking for the best mind care tips, consider using exercises that expand your brainpower and keep you sharp.

Not everyone’s brain functions the same way. We recognize that and are here to share the tips, tricks, and activities that we find for every brain and personality type.

Self-Image

You are beautiful. You are worth it. You can do anything you set your mind to. We all need to be reminded of that from time to time, and GR8NESS is here to let you know that it’s true. Embrace who you are and let go of the past. Use our mindfulness tips to change your perspective and start loving your inner-you.

Welcome to our mind care section. YOU, starts here.
