Mindfulness is the practice of intentionally focusing attention on the present moment with a non-judgmental, accepting attitude toward one's thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Rooted in Buddhist meditation traditions, it has been secularized into programs like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and is widely used in therapy, workplace wellness, and personal development to reduce stress and improve focus. People are drawn to it as a low-cost, evidence-supported tool for managing anxiety and improving emotional regulation.
