<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Mindfulness is an integrative, mind-body based approach that helps people to manage their thoughts and feelings and mental health. It is becoming widely used in a range of contexts. Mindfulness
is recommended as a treatment for people with mental ill-health as well as those who want to improve their mental health and wellbeing. Mindfulness exercises are ways of paying attention to the present moment, using techniques like meditation, breathing, and
yoga. Training helps people to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations so that instead of being overwhelmed by them, they’re better able to manage them. Practicing mindfulness can give more insight into emotions, boost attention
and concentration, and improve relationships.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
