Mindfulness is not about thinking, but about quieting your mind to achieve a state of awareness that allows for greater perception and clarity. Meditation is a popular way to achieve mindfulness. Schedule a time for yourself to simply sit, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing. Encourage your thoughts to stay on breathing and don’t try to accomplish anything else in that moment.
