What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the idea of learning how to be fully present and engaged in the moment, aware of your thoughts and feelings without distraction or judgment. It can be helpful in managing stress, worry and uncertainty, as well helping you to make the most of everyday moments with your children.
