2.1.2 Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a state of mind where you’re giving your full attention to the present moment. It involves slowing down, noticing how you’re feeling but not judging those feelings. It creates some space in which to process your feelings. There is a wide range of resources such as books, apps and YouTube videos available to help develop mindfulness practice – you might like to investigate some of these and see what works for you. You don’t have to be sitting or lying down to be mindful; some people practise mindful walking, mindful exercise (for example running or yoga), or try to complete everyday tasks, such as washing, in a mindful way.
