Mindfulness means paying attention to what is happening right now with your body, your thoughts, and your feelings-without judging it as good or bad.
It's like being a kind, curious detective of the present moment.
When we practice mindfulness, we:
Take deep breaths to help our brain feel calm
Notice how we feel inside and out
Focus on one thing at a time
Benefits of Mindfulness include:
Increased emotional regulation
Increased social skills
Increased ability to pay attention
Increase sense of calmness
