What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a mode of attention characterized by openness, acceptance, and an enhanced ability to respond to the present moment. Being mindful allows for a clearer understanding of how thoughts and emotions impact our health, assisting us to manage our wellbeing. Mindful attention also enhances our learning and strategic abilities, and the quality of our decision making.
