What is mindfulness?

The concept of mindfulness is over 2500 years old, but it’s just as relevant in the world we live in today. It gives us the opportunity to recognise what we’re thinking and how we’re feeling, but without getting caught up in the commentary about what caused it. So if you tend to think about ‘what if’ and ‘if only’, mindfulness can help us manage the fears and frustrations those thoughts can create.

Mindfulness is giving your focused awareness to the present moment, whatever that looks like. Whether you’re walking, in a meeting or having a cup of tea, you can use the experience to keep yourself in the here and how. It’s immersing yourself in whatever you’re doing, but without judging how it should or shouldn’t be. Just as you wouldn’t analyse or try to change a beautiful sunset, mindfulness acknowledges the what but without getting caught up in the why.

Mindfulness includes learning about compassion and non-judgement towards yourself and others. Instead of pushing experiences away and then reacting out of habit, mindfulness invites you to notice what’s happening, so that you may learn to control how you behave when things are difficult. Read my article on Mindfulness here. Mindfulness is also one way to enhance our spiritual intelligence.
