Mindfulness practices are about directing your attention to the present moment. Adding some to your routine can reduce stress, increase focus and improve sleep, among other health benefits.
"I define it as paying attention to our present moment experiences with openness, curiosity and willingness to be with that experience," said Diana Winston, director of mindfulness education at UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center.
