Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by being present in the moment, focusing on your current surroundings while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts and physical well being. Strategies used to accomplish mindfulness include concentrating on deep breathing and your senses. What do you see, smell, hear, feel and taste in your current environment.
