what is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practice of being present at the moment and paying attention to one's thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations without judgment. It involves stepping back from our inner dialogue and observing it objectively. When we become mindful, we can recognize when our thoughts are irrational or unhelpful and better manage them.


Practising mindfulness can help us become more aware of how we feel and what drives our behaviour. This increased self-awareness allows us to make healthier choices that serve our well-being. 



Breathing is integral to mindfulness since it helps us stay focused on the present moment.
