Mindfulness is the slowing down and taking notice of the things around you. It is a good way to relax and manage stress and worries. Different activities and exercises are designed to clear your thoughts and appreciate your feelings, offering a good distraction and some space to calm down.
It can be a useful tool when you go through a stressful or distressing period of your life, you are having emotional health issues, or you are dealing with conflict at home or in school.
