How to use the worksheet
Mindfulness is a technique that implies a state of nonjudgmental awareness of what is happening in the present moment, including awareness of one’s thoughts, feelings and sense, focusing on the here and now, while putting the life’s noise, demands and stressors in the background while you concentrate on the present moment. It is a technique borrowed from Buddhist meditation (Hosey et al., 2018). The following worksheet explains the components of mindfulness, how it works and offers examples of mindfulness techniques.
