Mindfulness meditation is a mental training practice where one learns to slow down racing thoughts, let go of negativity, and calm both the mind and body. It involves being fully focused on “the now” so you can acknowledge and accept your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. Mindfulness techniques can vary, but in general, mindfulness meditation involves breathing practice, some times exercises, and awareness of body and mind. It’s easy to get caught up in a pattern of swirling thoughts of things that need to be done, ruminating on past events, or could-be situations of the future. Learning and practicing mindfulness and meditation can help.
