Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the psychological process of bringing one’s attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental way. It involves being aware of one’s thoughts, feelings, sensations, and surroundings without trying to change or react to them. This practice encourages individuals to observe their experiences calmly and with acceptance, fostering a deeper awareness of the current moment. Mindfulness has roots in various contemplative traditions, particularly within Buddhism, and has been adapted into modern psychological practices to enhance well-being and reduce stress. It can be cultivated through techniques such as meditation, breathing exercises, and mindful observation in daily activities.
