Here\u2019s how it can help you.<br><br>From the moment we wake up, to the minute we go to bed, it can feel like we are on a hamster wheel, racing from one task to another, always worrying about the next thing on our to-do list.<br><br>But how often do we stop to appreciate the simple things in life \u2014 the smell of freshly-cut grass, the sound of children laughing or the first refreshing sip of an ice-cold drink on a hot summer\u2019s day?<br><br>Living life at a million miles per hour can take a massive toll on both our physical and mental wellbeing, and can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.<br><br>Perhaps it\u2019s not surprising, therefore, that in a recent survey carried out by wellbeing specialists, Forth With Life, 85 per cent of adults in the UK say they are regularly experiencing stress, with over a third of us feeling stressed for at least one full day per week.<br><br>So how can we ease our worry and anxiety?<br><br>In the book, <a href=\"\/mindfulness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Easy Way to Mindfulness<\/a>, Allen Carr \u2014 the man who was famous for getting over 30 million people worldwide to stop smoking \u2014 believed that practising mindfulness every day can lead to a calmer, happier state of mind.<br><br>He said: \u2018Just 10 minutes a day is enough to make a difference. Just 10 minutes in which you step out of the chaos and focus on something real.\u2019<br><br><a class=\"button red hvr\" title=\"Read more about 'Easyway to Mindfulness'\" href=\"\/mindfulness\/\"
