Mindful Media Announces 20 Mindful Thought Leaders Guiding Us Into A Better 2021
Mindfulness is defined as “the quality of being present and fully engaged with whatever we’re doing at the moment - free from distraction or judgment, and aware of our thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them.” Though this definition is clear to understand, it is much harder for many to put into practice. Mindfulness requires moment-to-moment awareness, which is the product of training, meditation, and consciousness. Suffice to say, mindfulness is seldom achieved without internal reflection guided by external assistance. This realization has led to an immense boom in the coaching and mentoring industry in recent years, as individuals struggle to achieve mindfulness individually and seek the help of experts to guide them there.
In the U.S. alone, the coaching industry is estimated to be valued at $2 billion, with studies showing that executives and entrepreneurs who use a coach see their net income increase by an average of 46%. Financial gain aside, coaching and mentoring as offered by mindful thought leaders is known to increase a sense of purpose through personal and professional fulfillment. The decision to employ professional assistance in the journey to obtaining mindfulness is a no brainer, and the benefits are seemingly endless. The challenge, however, is finding the right mindfulness leader, which is why we’ve curated this list of 20 mindful thought leaders offering a diverse array of services to help guide us into a better 2021.
