Mindfulness
The Greater Good Science Center defines mindfulness as “maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.”
Research is showing how practicing mindfulness, even for just a few weeks, can have wide-ranging physical, psychological, and social benefits.
Mindfulness is a skill that develops with practice and consistency. It’s about being present and non-judgmental, and you can integrate it into various aspects of your daily life to experience its benefits fully.
