The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, a flower blooms. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
Anxious, Frustrated, Overwhelmed, or Disconnected?
Whether it’s financial problems, poor health, today’s headlines, or the lingering effects of past trauma, STRESS has a way of taking over—clouding our minds, stealing our joy, and eventually showing up in our bodies as illness.
You’re not alone. I’ve been there too.
The good news? Mindfulness has helped millions of people move past their stressful thoughts and feelings and enter fully into the present moment—the Now. Being here changes everything.
Your Deeper Self
The practice of mindfulness is like walking along a path into the forest, noticing all of the sights, sounds, colors, and feelings moving around and through you. Eventually, you let go and drop into a very peaceful space, far from fear, worry, or pain. Your body softens. Your mind clears. A nourishing sense of joy or gratitude arises. In this euphoric moment, you can’t help but smile. Mindfulness practitioners call this your deeper self.
With practice, you can visit this beautiful place whenever needed. Dwelling here is also an option.
Of course, other benefits can also come your way, like better sleep, lower blood pressure, and enhanced cognitive skills. Mindfulness might even help you live longer.
Walking this Path
Hi, my name’s Paul Nelson and I’ve been practicing and teaching mindfulness for many years. If you're interested in walking this path or returning to it with fresh intentions, let’s talk.
While online apps and podcasts have their place, they don’t offer the personalized insight and real-time support you get by working with a skilled mindfulness coach, especially one who’s also a mental health practitioner.
I developed Enter the Now to help you:
Create a mindfulness practice that is uniquely tailored to your health and physical needs, busy schedule, personal stressors, even your anxiety type (see research)
Stay focused and motivated, especially during this initial phase of your practice
Work through difficult emotions, thoughts, or reactions you may face along the way
Cultivate your self-awareness and emotional intelligence to meet life’s challenges with clarity, strength, and compassion.
With personalized mindfulness coaching, you’ll discover what works best for you, avoid common pitfalls, and enjoy lasting benefits by making your practice an integral part of your daily life.
Take the first step toward finding your deeper self! Enter the Now!
