What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment, without judgment. It is about being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, without getting caught up in them. Mindfulness has been shown to be effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and in improving overall well-being.
How Does Mindfulness Work?
Mindfulness works by helping you to see your thoughts and feelings more clearly. When you are mindful, you are able to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. This allows you to see that your thoughts and feelings are not facts, but simply mental events. You can then choose how to respond to your thoughts and feelings, rather than being controlled by them.
