Mindfulness is the awareness that arises from paying attention in a certain way:
- On purpose
- In the present moment
- Non-judgmentally
~ Jon Kabat-Zinn (2011)
As a practice, mindfulness is the art of observing your physical, emotional, and mental experiences with deliberate, open, and curious attention (Susan Smalley and Diana Winston, 2010).
Mindfulness can also enhance our health and well-being and numerous scientific studies have shown the effectiveness of mindfulness-based approaches.
