Mindfulness
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.
Mindfulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them鈥攚ithout believing, for instance, that there鈥檚 a 鈥渞ight鈥� or 鈥渨rong鈥� way to think or feel in a given moment.
When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we鈥檙e sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future.
