S2 EP9: What is Mindfulness

There’s a big misconception that mindfulness is equivalent to eastern meditation practices, demanding a completely still and empty mind. In reality, mindfulness is the act of consciously focusing your mind on the present moment.

In our fast-paced world, we frequently go through our days on autopilot, disconnected from what’s happening around us. In today's episode, we'll discuss the many benefits of mindfulness, such as reducing stress, improving relationships, and increasing self-awareness. We'll share practical mindfulness techniques, clarify common misconceptions, and provide tips for incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine and deepening your practice over time.
