The HOCATT™ and Mindfulness: How it Can Help Reduce Stress and Improve Mental Clarity
What Is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It involves focusing your attention on the present moment and being fully engaged in what you’re doing rather than allowing your mind to wander or become distracted.
Mindfulness has been shown to have a wide range of mental health benefits, including reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, improving sleep quality, and increasing feelings of happiness and well-being.
