Mindfulness

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness, or mindful presence, is a practice focused on being present in the moment with acceptance, acknowledgement and a non-judging attitude. It involves consciously directing attention to what is happening here and now — in both body and mind — without becoming caught up in thoughts about the past or worries about the future.

Reduces stress

Mindfulness practice has been shown to be effective in reducing stress levels and increasing feelings of calm and relaxation.

Increases mental clarity

By training your attention, mindfulness can help enhance concentration and mental clarity — useful in everyday life and at work.

Promotes emotional balance

Through regular practice, mindfulness can help us deal with emotions in a more balanced and constructive manner.

Improves sleep quality

Many who practise mindfulness also experience improvements in sleep quality, as it can help quiet the mind before bedtime.

Meditation

A common way to practise mindfulness is through meditation, where you train your attention on breathing, bodily sensations or sensory impressions.

Conscious presence

Mindfulness can be integrated into everyday life by being consciously present while performing daily activities such as eating, walking or working.

Start small

Begin with small steps — a few minutes each day is enough. You can gradually increase the time as you become more comfortable.

Find resources and guidance

There are many resources available for those wishing to learn more about mindfulness — including books, apps and courses.
