Everyday demands pull us in all different directions. Our lives can feel scattered, and we often find ourselves reacting to stress rather than pausing to appreciate the moment. We rush around to keep up with our personal and professional to-do lists, yet we still feel defeated, like we’re missing out on something. There’s a lot working against us in this scattered world, but a mindfulness practice helps us reset, protect our energy, and move forward with a more peaceful heart.

In Own Your Present, Dr. Candace Good provides you with a path to a more mindful life, helping you reconnect your body and mind with your surroundings. She shares engaging and deeply personal stories of her own struggles with anxiety to show you what it looks like to move beyond your past and inner critic to accept what is, imperfections and all. Dr. Good offers practical advice, therapy techniques, and activities as a map to help you begin or deepen your mindfulness practice. Owning your present, you’ll come to learn, is not only noticing a moment or a gift before you but also committing to a journey to rediscover your authentic self, so you can show up when it counts. Regardless of what is happening in the world, you have what it takes to live in the moment!
