Mindfulness and Wellbeing
A mindful person is being aware of events and experiences at the moment and accepting them as they are, rather than being absorbed in the past or worried about the future. Such a person is prone to be open to novelty, sensitive to context, and aware of multiple approaches to solving a problem.
