Mindfulness can be described as an awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment. This is most commonly explored through mindful meditation, a practice that is credited with improving physical and mental health.Beyond meditation, being mindful can help to improve attention and focus in nearly every aspect of life.
Thinking about your actions and the effect they have on your health and the health of others can be good for you and those around you.
It turns out that we engage in many health behaviors that are driven more by habit than conscious decision-making. This includes what, when, and how much we eat as well as how active we are, two of the most important determinants of health.
When was the last time you thought about what you were eating? Not just which restaurant to go to or what time to eat, but really thought about what and how much you ate?
Chances are, at least some of the time you eat when you aren’t hungry or keep eating even when you are full. You probably also eat foods you know you shouldn’t or don’t intend to, sometimes without even realizing it.

TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Jacksonville Forest Park and Grizzly Peak Runs/Hikes
After seeing clients in the morning, I headed to J-Ville Forest Park for a couple hours of running and hiking. When I was done, and had cell reception, I had a message from a friend waiting for me inviting me to join her on Grizzly Peak. So, how could I resist! I drove to the other end of the valley and spent a few hours hiking and running on Grizzly Peak. All in all, a fairly even mix of running and hiking between the two trail systems.
