Mindfulness is simply being aware and conscious in the present moment. That’s it. Mindfulness is tuning in only to the sensations of life around you. It is real and serious and sustained focus on the here and now. It’s not what’s going on in the world. It’s not the dozens of angry, frustrated drivers boxing you in on the crowded freeway. Nor is it what you have to do in fifteen minutes when the train pulls into your station. Or the creeping stress of your job—it’s especially not that.
