mindfulness meditation
Present-moment attention training
Mindfulness meditation is a practice in which you focus attention on the present moment—often on breathing, bodily sensations, or sounds—while observing thoughts and feelings without judgment.
The goal is not to empty the mind but to notice when it wanders and gently return focus.
Regular practitioners report reduced stress, improved concentration, and greater emotional regulation.
I started doing mindfulness meditation for ten minutes each morning.
