Put simply, mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity and without judgement.

Mindfulness is a practice that allows us to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we are doing, rather than overly reactive or feeling overwhelmed by what might be going on around us. Practicing mindfulness can be particularly useful when we are experiencing stress or worry as it helps us to focus on the present moment, rather that what has happened in the past or may happen in the future.
