Mindfulness & Deep Breathing
Being mindful is being consciously aware and focused on the present moment. Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through gentle and nurturing lens. Mindfulness also involves acceptance because we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them or without believing that there’s a ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’ way to think or feel in a given moment. When mindfulness is practiced our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future. It is an extremely useful tool in therapy and sets the mood for positive change.
