Mindfulness: More Than Just a Buzzword

These days, mindfulness is everywhere-from news segments to magazine covers-touted as a powerful tool for stress relief, focus, and relaxation. While it may seem like a modern trend, mindfulness is actually an ancient practice. Over the past few decades, both science and personal experience have confirmed its many benefits for our health, happiness, work, and relationships.

At its core, mindfulness is simply being aware of the present moment without judgment.
