Mindful August 2022: The Happiness Issue

Mindful Magazine’s August issue explores how to uncover happiness in both the joyful and the mundane. The Happiness issue invites us to savor each moment through the power of self-care, purpose, and kindness.

We all experience difficulties along our path—yet there are always glimmers of love and delight, if we remember to pay attention. This issue dives deep into the many ways we can rediscover what happiness looks like for us, and how mindfulness can nurture the inherent resilience, wisdom, and generosity that strengthen our connection to joy.

Below are some highlighted topics from the new issue:

• Summer Self-Care: Savor the Moment: Summer offers the perfect invitation to notice more opportunities to slow down, be present, and appreciate the world around you. With the help of four meditation teachers including Mindful founding editor Barry Boyce, we’ve gathered tips and practices for savoring the summer as it unfolds around you.
• Meet the Movement: In every walk of life, women are broadening and deepening the definition of “power.” For our fourth annual Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement feature, 10 women share what they’ve learned about purpose, community, connection, and how mindfulness can change the world.
• Let Your Garden Grow: Gardener, artist, and community activist Nkoula Badila grew up surrounded by plants and people. She shares how cultivating and caring for plants can allow us to grow closer to our own roots—and help us discover what we need in order to thrive.
