What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the human ability to not be overwhelmed by things around us by being fully present in the moment. It is the ability to not react greatly to things that may overwhelm us.
We all naturally possess the ability to be mindful, it can just take some practice for it to become second nature to us.
It has been proven that when you train your brain to be mindful, you’re actually remodelling the physical structure of your brain. You’re being mindful if you are fully aware of your thoughts and emotions in any situation you’re directly experiencing.
Why is it helpful?
Mindfulness is great to help prevent you being overwhelmed by day-to-day life. It helps you to let thoughts pass and realise you’re not your thoughts and they don’t consume you.
