Mindfulness helps you become aware of the ‘present moment’, something that most of us don’t pay attention to because we are constantly worried about the future or mulling over what has already happened in the past. Mindfulness allows us to be fully aware of our thoughts and emotions when presented with different challenges or situations. It helps us to stay grounded and regulates our moods, even in the event of challenging situations. It gives you the freedom to mindfully respond rather than impulsively react in such circumstances.
