| Summary: | ABSTRACT
Most of the people today has taken for granted living in the present
and preoccupying themselves with the worries for the future and regrets
from the past. Mindfulness is the key factor in savoring and appreciating
the present moment without judgment. According to Psychology Today
(2012), mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present.
When a person is mindful, s/he observes his/her thoughts and feelings
from a distance, without judging them if they are good or bad. Instead of
letting life pass by, mindfulness means living in the moment and
awakening to experience. In this study the researchers explained
mindfulness using the focused group discussion participants. Self awareness
is the first step to reaching mindfulness, a deeper appreciation
of the present moment. |
