Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. It has several benefits, including improving brain health and slowing brain aging, reducing anxiety and depression, and improving overall well-being. Mindfulness has three vital psychological elements: intention, attention, and attitude. Mindfulness can be cultivated through proven techniques, such as body scan meditation, sitting meditation, and walking meditation. To practice mindfulness in daily life, you can set aside time each day to perform an exercise, such as a body scan, deep breathing, or mindful meditation.
