Overall, mindfulness improves well-being by reducing stress, developing resilience, managing pain, increasing focus, and improving anxiety and depression.

Mindful awareness is defined as the practice of noticing what is happening in the present moment without judgement. It involves maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of one’s thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surroundings, while observing them without reacting or judging. This practice helps individuals become more aware of their internal states and surroundings promoting a non-judgemental and open attitude towards their experiences.
