Mindfulness is a mental state and practice that involves paying deliberate and non-judgmental attention to the present moment, including one's thoughts, emotions, sensations, and surroundings. It encourages a curious and accepting attitude towards these experiences, without attempting to change or react to them immediately. This practice can be achieved through meditation techniques and is aimed at improving emotional regulation, reducing stress, and enhancing overall well-being.
