Chapter 1: Understanding Mindfulness
Mindfulness is all about paying attention to the present moment without judging it. It’s about being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations as they happen.

You can practice mindfulness in many ways, like through meditation, breathing exercises, or simply paying attention to daily activities.
