What's Happening?
Mindfulness exercises involve focusing on being intensely aware of what one is sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. These exercises include breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind, helping to reduce stress. Mindfulness can direct attention away from draining thoughts and engage with the world around us. Structured exercises like body scan meditation or sitting meditation require a quiet place without distractions.
