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. There are many ways that people define mindfulness but for our purposes, we are going to be using the terms "mindfulness" and "observing" interchangeably. 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.
