Mindfulness is paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally. Mindfulness refers to the capacity to be present in our lives, whatever the experience. To really notice what’s going on in our mind and our body, around us and with others. This way of paying attention then allows us to see our reactions and to open up a space so that we don’t just react but rather have more choice over our reactions. This is not always easy but it is where the power lays.
