Have you every felt this way? Experiences and details are lost due to our distractions.

Sometimes we sit down for a coffee, only to find that we are left holding the empty cup! We cannot recall a single detail about the drink. We are performing actions and randomly thinking thoughts, but often we are not aware of either our thoughts or actions. Definition of mindfulness Moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, experiences and environment is called ‘mindfulness’.

With growing stress and tension, most of us multi-task and tend to worry about multiple things simultaneously. We function on autopilot most of the time. The tendency to worry about several things at once interferes with our ability to focus on the present moment. As a result, we tend to function on autopilot and become ‘mindless’. Mindfulness can be practised anytime and anywhere.

The concept of mindfulness does not mean that one has to escape to the top of a mountain or sit in a cave in order to experience the benefits. You can practise mindfulness by simply bringing your awareness to the present moment.

Most importantly, the practice of mindfulness helps us to nourish and reinforce our inner ability to restore well-being.
