What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is noticing what is happening in the present moment. 

It is when all your attention is focussed on one thing. 

Some examples of mindfulness include:

• Meditation
• Breathe work
• Arts and craft
• Singing and/or playing an instrument
• Dancing
• Playing sport and other exercise
• Yoga
• Writing
• Listening to music
• Playing board games
• Playing with friends
• *NB Video games/TV/movies are not considered mindful activities as they activate a different part of our brains. They are okay for a short time though! 

Practicing mindfulness has many benefits including:

• Decrease stress and anxiety
• Allow connection with the self and values
• Bring a sense of peacefulness and clarity
• Increase self-awareness
• Develop self-acceptance and confidence
• Bring emotional balance and stability
• Decrease worrying thoughts
• Allow compassion and empathy to grow
• Help to view experiences positively 
• Decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression
• Improve physical symptoms
• Improve sleep
• Strengthen the immune system
• Dramatically improve concentration and memory
