What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is all about training yourself to pay attention in a special way to things happening around you.
It is about learning to focus on the present moment, letting the past be, and trying not to think about what may be coming up in the future.

Practicing “mindfulness” is one of the most popular ways to meditate. It’s defined as “paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.”
Mindfulness meditation is well studied in terms of its health benefits. I’m going to talk about a few of them below, and refer to it as “mindfulness” for the rest of the post.
