Mindfulness or mindfulness consists of living in the present moment without the mind being lost in other things. It is the ability to direct attention to what you are doing, thinking, or happening around you at that very moment. And you focus on that without judgment, with an attitude of curiosity. An example: mindfulness is enjoying your coffee every morning, paying attention to the aroma while it is being made, to the sounds, to your liking when you drink it …, but it is also noticing a thought that passes through your head, observing it without criticizing yourself and leaving it happen.
In the July issue of CLARA magazine, number 335, you can find a report dedicated to mindfulness, with all the keys for you to start enjoying its benefits. To complement it and you have just decided if it is your thing, I have tried 5 guided practices on YouTube and I explain its characteristics.
Remember, don't do the exercises with any objective, just let yourself go. Nothing happens if you lose concentration, try to regain it with your breath and everything will be fine. Even if you only manage to follow them for a minute, they will suit you very well. I give you my word.
