The definition of mindfulness is “a mental state achieved by focusing one’ awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.” Mindfulness can improve anxiety, depression, and overeating. Michelle May, M.D. developed a mindful eating program called “Am I Hungry?” She describes the program in her book Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat: Break your Eating Repent-Repeat Cycle.

Roberts, in effect, expanded the power of presidents to exercise control over appointees of independent executive branch agencies. The long-term ramifications are significant and structural. He also led the Court in striking down a Montana Supreme Court decision that barred religious schools in Montana from taking advantage of public tax dollars for tuition payments. Nonreligious private schools could participate, but religious ones could not. This is a big religious liberty win.
