A practice of focused awareness where you train yourself to pay attention to the present moment in a calm, non-judgmental way. In everyday terms, being mindful means you’re fully tuned in to right now: for instance, noticing your breath and how your body feels when you’re stressed, rather than getting lost in worries about a future test or distractions around you. For students, mindfulness techniques (like deep breathing exercises, short meditations, or mindful breaks where you stretch and observe your surroundings) can help reduce anxiety and improve concentration. It’s like a reset button for your mind during a busy day — a way to center yourself so you can return to studying with a clearer, calmer head.
