Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.

How we see and hold the full range of our experiences in our minds and in our hearts makes an enormous difference in the quality of this journey we are on and what it means to us. It can influence where we go, what happens, what we learn, and how we feel along the way.

Mindfulness means moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness. It is cultivated by refining our capacity to pay attention, intentionally, in the present moment, and then sustaining that attention over time as best we can. In the process, we become more in touch with our life as it is unfolding.

Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.

There are a lot of different ways to talk about mindfulness, but what it really means is awareness.
