What Is Mindfulness?

“Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.”

— Greater Good Science Center, UC Berkeley

Practicing mindfulness helps students recognize and manage the connection between their emotions, thoughts, and bodies. As students build these skills, they become better equipped to regulate their emotions, manage stress, maintain focus, and build positive relationships.
