MINDFULNESS

Dr. Laurie Bruce

What exactly is mindfulness? A lot of people teach mindfulness mostly because we have learned over the last 2-3 decades how important this skill is for improving our mental health and wellbeing.

At its simplest form, that’s really what mindfulness is, it is learning how to be more observant, more aware, and to notice without judgment.
