How Does Mindfulness Work?

Mindfulness is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the current moment, without judgment. Research has shown that mindfulness can improve mental health by reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also improve overall well-being by promoting feelings of calm and relaxation, and by helping you to develop a greater sense of self-awareness and control over you thoughts and emotions. Overall, mindfulness can help you to focus on the present, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, which can improve your overall emotional well-being.

In mental health treatment, mindfulness is not a religious practice (although there are some rituals that may have some similarities). It can be helpful for those who are struggling with mental health, as a part of a relapse prevention plan, and to support overall mental health wellness.
