Introduction
Mindfulness is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the current moment without judgment or distraction. It is a powerful tool for reducing stress, improving focus, and increasing overall well-being. Here are seven steps to help achieve mindfulness:
Set aside time for practice: Schedule a regular time for meditation or mindfulness exercises. Start with a few minutes a day and gradually increase the time.
Focus on your breath: Pay attention to your breath as you inhale and exhale. This will help anchor you in the present moment.

Use your senses: Pay attention to your surroundings using your senses. Notice the sounds, smells, and sensations around you.
