Mindfulness

What is mindfulness?

• Living in the now, practicing kindness without judgement, meditating, and learning how your brain works.

• Being fun, making fun of people, meditating, not really caring about the environment or other people.

• Living in the now, focusing on negative thoughts and bad memories, and meditating.
