Mindfulness is the psychological process of bringing one’s attention to experiences occurring in the present.  To be fully present and aware of one’s self is actualized living.  That’s according to Kirk Abner, author of the book Flower Dog Man.  In this episode of Life in HD, I chat with Kirk about how living an actualized existence saved him from a life of depression and meaningless pursuits.  I’ll also share 5 simple tips to help you cultivate more focused behavior on your journey to be fully present and aware of what’s happening in the moment.
