Research confirms that practicing mindfulness reduces stress. It improves physical and mental health as well as cognitive performance. It helps us respond rather than react to stressors. Mindfulness can be defined as paying attention to thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations intentionally, in the present moment, with curiosity, friendliness, and gentleness and accepting things just as they are.
