Mindfulness is an ancient philosophy that has been adapted by psychologists today, but can be used by anyone who wants to be happier and enjoy greater well-being.

The basic principles of Mindfulness are to be in the “here and now” , with a mentality of openness to experience and non-judgement, and with an attitude of compassion towards oneself and others.

There is a lot of research that has shown that it is a great strategy for dealing with the problems of the day.
