mindfulness practice

Present-moment attention training

Mindfulness practice refers to techniques and exercises designed to cultivate present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention.

Common forms include meditation, breathing exercises, and body scans, though the term encompasses any deliberate activity aimed at training focus and reducing mental distraction.

My therapist recommended a daily mindfulness practice to help with anxiety.

The phrase often appears in contexts related to stress reduction, mental health, and workplace wellness programs.
