Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment, on purpose and without judgment. It means being aware of your thoughts, feelings, body, and surroundings as they are, instead of constantly reacting or getting pulled into “what’s next” or “what if.”  It’s not about emptying your mind or reaching a state of total calm. It’s about noticing what’s happening right now. Mindfulness also helps you become more emotionally aware, making it easier to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically—at work, at home, and in stressful situations or relationships. Through mindfulness, you can face life with greater clarity while responding to life’s challenges with more thought and less reaction.
