Mindfulness
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the process of centering one's self; focusing on the here and now, and driving away, to the greatest extent, the distractions that compete with our sanity and peace of mind. Gaining a sense of control in one's life is the ultimate purpose, beginning with learning how to control your breathing. Once some basic sense of control is attained, efforts can begin to be made at controlling thoughts and feelings.
