Mindfulness is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the moment. It involves paying attention to thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. Incorporating mindfulness into daily life can lead to reduced stress, improved focus, and greater emotional resilience.
Practicing mindfulness can enhance self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, and foster a sense of calm. It can also help individuals manage anxiety and improve overall mental health.

"Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and our experience." - Jon Kabat-Zinn
Start small by incorporating mindfulness into daily activities, such as eating or walking. Gradually, you can build a more structured mindfulness practice.
