Mindfulness is a hot buzzword these days in the personal health and wellness spheres. But what is mindfulness, really? And what does it have to do with your health?

Psychology Today defines mindfulness as “active, open attention on the present.” In the arena of personalized health, mindfulness is an active and attentive approach to your health and wellness, helping you to discover what’s right for you and what makes you feel good. Taking self-study and self-awareness as a practice, you have the potential to get to know what works for you and optimize your health on unprecedented levels.

That’s the first part of mindfulness: Making the unconscious conscious.

The second part of mindfulness is consciously setting goals and following through on commitments that move you towards those things most important to you.

It’s widely known that going over things in your mind has similar effects to doing them in real life: Olympian athletes train mentally, rehearsing their events in their minds, as a part of their overall preparation. In the same way, it’s vital to create well-traveled mental grooves that lead to success and well-being.

As you become more mindful of yourself, you may notice patterns of thought and behavior that don’t serve you or the goals that you value. Instead of bashing yourself for these, recognize that becoming cognizant of them is half the battle. Your awareness itself will help nudge you in the right direction.
