By paying attention to the current moment, you notice your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations, without any judgement or wishing that they were different. You learn to accept yourself as you are. In short, amongst the busyness of our lives, mindfulness is spending time ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. It’s stepping out of autopilot, pressing pause, and reconnecting with yourself.
A mindfulness practice can support you to find your inner peace regardless of what is happening around you, assisting you to become more intentional with your thoughts and what you are paying attention to. When you find yourself spiralling into negative thoughts, mindfulness brings you back into the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Feelings of stress, anxiety and overwhelm are reduced, while improvements are shown in focus, memory and resilience.
