What is mindfulness❓🧐

mindfulness

Mindfulness means awakening our ability to concentrate and being fully aware of the present moment — not bringing the tension of the past or the worry of the future, but simply improving our focus. It is a kind of mental state in which we observe and feel our emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations, and the events happening around us without reacting to them. This leads to maturity, and we are able to sense what is right or wrong around us more easily, and handle things wisely.
