Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a technique you can learn. It involves noticing what's happening in the present moment, without judgement. You might take notice and be aware of your mind, body or surroundings.

The technique has roots in Buddhism and meditation. But you don't have to be spiritual, or have any particular beliefs, to try it.

Mindfulness has strengthened my sense of gratitude especially of the small things in life, and it’s given me a skill set of meditation techniques that if I do them every day are of huge benefit.
