Mindfulness is a habit that every conscious person can and should practice; it is the idea of being present and aware of the current moment.
In Buddhism, the definition is taken a bit further by applying the wisdom of the Buddha and Dhamma to every moment of one’s day. In doing so, a follower of the Buddha patiently begins to understand the fundamental, underlying laws surrounding life. Which gives them an intention behind the things they do—day to day—from their thoughts, to simple interactions with others. Simply put, it’s the act of becoming the best version of oneself. Not just for personal benefit, but for the benefit of all those around.
