Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present, aware of our thoughts, feelings and sensations (but not ‘fixed’ on any particular one) and gently aware of each moment. Mindfulness practice doesn’t have to be time consuming - a few moments of mindfulness each day can build into a habit.

Mindfulness activities include meditation, yoga, journaling, doodling, coloring and meditation - all of which encourage you to ‘give your stress wings and let it fly away’.
