"The 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge is having such a huge impact on stress levels, focus and managing conflict in the workplace that we're opening it up to individuals so they can reap the benefits too," says Dr. Geoff Soloway PhD, Chief Training Officer at MindWell.  "In just five minutes a day the Challenge teaches people how to drop mindfulness into their existing day regardless of whether they're in a stressful conversation, stuck in traffic or corralling the kids to school. No closed eyes, quiet rooms or crossed-legs required."

"I found the Challenge to be very positive," says one of the first participants Blair Smith in a video testimonial. "I followed the daily instructions and videos… and felt refreshed, able to move on to new tasks, focused and not worrying about things happening later in the day or in three weeks' time.  When you're in that mindful moment, everything seems to be ok."

"The first step to staying in the present is to realize when you are not there," says Challenge participant and change management expert Phil Buckley in his online review. "The ability to assess where my mind was became a new skill. If I was not in a productive frame of mind, I would trigger the Challenge's Take 5 breathing exercise to snap back into focus. I was back in productivity mode in less than two minutes. The more I used this tool the faster I refocused on my work."

While mindfulness is an ancient wisdom tradition, today it is an evidence-based training used in government, healthcare, education, military and business settings to decrease stress, anxiety and depression and increase performance, focus, memory and creativity.
