Mindfulness is the practice of directing your attention to the present moment deliberately and without judgment. This means fully experiencing what is happening around and within you right now — your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations — without distraction or reaction. Mindfulness fosters awareness and acceptance, enabling you to be more grounded and mentally clear. This practice has become an essential tool not only for mental well-being but also for enhancing physical fitness experiences[^1^].
