Part II: Self-CareReviewMindfulness“Mindfulness can be thought of as moment-to-
moment, non-judgmental awareness, cultivated by paying attention in a specific way, that is, in the present moment, and as non-reactively as possible…mindfulness is perhaps the most basic, the most powerful, the most universal, among the easiest to grasp and engage in, and arguably, the most sorely needed now. For mindfulness is non other than the capacity we all already have to know what is actually happening as it is happening.”
