I have heard this used a lot of the forum but I am not sure what it is. I have been told by @Ms Spock that I use mindfulness a lot in my diary. After doing some quick research on the topic I realized I want to know more.
From Wikipedia:
"Mindfulness as a psychological concept is the focusing of attention and awareness, based on the concept of mindfulness in Buddhist meditation.
Several definitions of mindfulness have been used in modern psychology. According to various prominent psychological definitions, Mindfulness refers to a psychological quality that involves:
bringing one’s complete attention to the present experience on a moment-to-moment basis,
or involves
paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally,
or involves
a kind of nonelaborative, nonjudgmental, present-centered awareness in which each thought, feeling, or sensation that arises in the attentional field is acknowledged and accepted as it is."
It is supposed to help with anxiety, stress and depression.
Can anyone tell me more? What works for them? Helpful books? Things they do?
