All about Mindfulness
Mindfulness means paying gentle attention to the present moment, noticing what you see, hear, smell, feel and think without judging it. It can help you feel calmer, more focused and more able to handle difficult feelings.
Simple mindfulness practices include slow, deep breathing, noticing five things you can see, or focusing on the feeling of your feet on the floor. Practising for a few minutes each day can make it easier to pause before reacting when you feel stressed.

Frequently asked questions about Mindfulness
Is mindfulness the same as meditation?
Meditation is one way to practise mindfulness. Mindfulness can also be done during everyday activities like eating or walking.
How long should I practise?
Even two or three minutes a day can help. Short practice regularly is better than long sessions occasionally.
What if my mind keeps wandering?
That is normal. Notice that your mind has wandered, then gently bring your attention back to your breathing.
