mindfulness

Mindfulness  originally a psychological treatment intended to heal the mind – is a simple technique similar to meditation or relaxation: a way of experiencing life being fully present. Its core idea is to help us regain control over our lives by focusing our attention on mental, bodily, and environmental signals, and to make us fully aware of them. This method helps us live the moment and be immersed in it, while slowing down our accelerated pace of life. Through slowing down, we give ourselves time to thoroughly process the impressions we experience, to reflect on them and thus make conscious decisions, or to find new sources of life-changing inspiration that help us redefine who we are.
