Abstract
All of the mindfulness training exercises in this book are inspired by meditation. Just as you train your quads to get stronger through practicing squats we will provide exercises to train your mind to learn to be progressively more present, poised in the face of difficult emotions and ultimately better armed to perform, regardless of your challenge. Given a range of mindfulness-based meditation practices serve as the core tool we will use to help strengthen your habit of mindfulness we would like to consider meditation. What is it and how do you do it?
