Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity, and acceptance. It involves being aware of your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment without judgment.

Observing experiences without evaluating them as good or bad, right or wrong, maintaining an accepting attitude.
