What Is Mindfulness? A Simple Definition

Mindfulness is a meditation technique found in Theravada Buddhism, that directs attention to the task at hand in a focused, non-judgmental fashion.
According to Yoga International, mindfulness can be defined as the informal practice of present moment awareness that can be applied to any waking situation. In different words, it’s a way of being actively aware of what you’re doing while you’re doing it.
For example, rather than thinking about the chore that is ‘doing the dishes’ you can instead focus on the sensations of the warm water on your hands, the sound of the sloshing, the rainbow on the edge of the bubbles.
Practicing mindfulness involves various techniques such as focused breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.
Mindfulness means living in the present moment
Essentially, it means being (intentionally) more aware and awake to each moment and being fully engaged in what is happening in one’s surroundings – with acceptance and without judgment.
