Introduction to Mindfulness
A gentle start to mindfulness, with simple practices and core concepts to get you grounded.
Lesson 1: What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is paying full attention to the present moment — without judgment.
Take a breath.
Look around. Feel your feet on the floor. Notice the air touching your skin.
Right now, you're being mindful.
It's not about clearing your mind or escaping thoughts. It's about noticing — your breath, your body, your emotions — without trying to fix or fight anything.
Practice: 3-min guided awareness scan (just noticing sounds, breath, body)
Challenge: Notice one moment where your mind wanders, then gently bring it back
Reflection:
Every time you notice, you're practicing mindfulness. Keep going!
