What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the act of placing attention, with intention and bringing yourself out of auto-pilot mode and more into the present moment. A big misconception is that you must practice meditation cross-legged on the floor, completely still, completely empty, and this just isn’t the case.

You can practice mindfulness at any time of the day, anywhere you are; in the car, in your home or in the office. It’s completely free and can be done in conjunction with everyday tasks such as brushing your teeth or making a cup of tea.

Mindfulness is often a useful support for staff who feel too busy, stressed and that they have no time to do something for their own wellbeing.
