Becoming mindful involves taking note, describing, and acting in the present moment with awareness without judgment or reactivity. At its core, mindfulness involves being present and experiencing. Once felt, treating can then begin. Mindfulness can help you recognize thoughts that cause stress without even realizing it. By practicing mindful awareness, you will be more attuned to what's going on right now rather than turning back toward the past or the future. Life begins now, so seize every moment by practicing mindfulness. According to research, practicing mindfulness increases emotional regulation as well as emotional intelligence, cognitive performance and working memory.
