6. The Mindfulness Movement

Mindfulness was born out of ancient philosophies such as Buddhism. To be mindful is to focus on the present moment, becoming aware of everything that is happening in the here and now as opposed to getting caught up in thoughts about the past and future. Mindfulness has spread from the East to the rest of the world and is now applied across many aspects of life, including eating and health.
