Mindfulness is paying attention to the current situation and being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. It’s like being fully awake and not just going through the motions of life on autopilot. When you’re mindful, you can learn to control your emotions and reactions better, instead of letting them control you. You can also find peace and calm, even in difficult situations. To be mindful, you just need to focus on your breathing, take deep breaths and feel your body relax. You can also focus on your senses and what you can see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. With practice, you can become more mindful every day and enjoy the benefits of feeling happier and more relaxed.
