Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a mental practice that involves focusing on the present moment in a non-judgmental way. It emphasizes awareness and acceptance of one’s thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. The practice originates from Buddhist traditions and has been adapted into secular contexts, particularly in mental health and therapeutic settings.
Present Moment Awareness: Paying attention to the current experience rather than ruminating on the past or worrying about the future.
Non-Judgemental Attitude: Observing thoughts and feelings without labelling them as good or bad.
Acceptance: Allowing experiences to be as they are without trying to change them immediately.
Intentionality: Engaging in mindfulness practices with purpose and deliberate focus.
