Explain in your own words what mindfulness means and how it relates to the prevention of stress
Mindfulness is commonly defined as the state of being attentive to and aware of what is taking place in the present. Mindfulness is the process of cultivating appreciation for the fullness of each moment we are alive. When we are mindful, we are paying attention, on purpose, non-judgmentally, and with acceptance of present-moment reality. There is no stress in the present moment. When our attention is focusing directly on this here-and-now moment, there is no threat that would trigger the stress response, and the result is no stress.
