Mindfulness is all about becoming present in every moment, the now. This is where all stress can be addressed and handled in a rational format. If the mind is in the future, one is not being mindful, and therefore the stress is evident in the worry about how things might turn out. If the mind is in the past, the stress is evident in the worry about what was done and what its effects are. Only in the present can true peace be found, and the behaviors of the human condition become clear. Mindfulness is a way to find one's path back to the present moment where all motives, all behaviors, all needs, all reactions and anything that needs to be changed can be observed in a rational and non-emotive format. Only then is change possible, and stress can be eliminated. Most stress can be attributed to being non-present. Almost always, this has to do with worry about the future or people who aren't even in one's present environment in the moment. So become mindful, come back to the present, and be at ease!
