Mindfulness means living in the here and now, becoming aware of your surroundings. You can observe your thoughts and feelings without immediately judging them. In stressful situations, you remain calm and quickly find your way back to yourself.
Mindfulness is the first step towards freedom. - Jon Kabat-Zinn
