Mindfulness is something that shows that our mind is fully aware of what has happened, with whatever we are doing.
It may seem simple, but in fact we more often avoid the problems we face.
Unwholesome thoughts, lose control of the body and soon we become more engrossed in various obsessive thoughts about something that just happened or become more worried about the future.
And of course it always makes excessive anxiety.
Mindfulness is a basic human ability to realize where they are and what they are doing.
No need to be too reactive or overwhelmed with what is happening around us.
On the other hand, Mindfulness is the quality of self-awareness, which includes conscious states of awake and attention and must be distinguished from mental processes such as cognition, motivation, and emotional states (Brown & Ryan, 2003).
The concept of self-awareness in humanistic psychology by May (Koeswara, 1988) refers to a capacity that makes an individual able to place, observe himself, and distinguish himself from others; and the capacity that allows individuals to be able to put themselves in the consciousness of the past, present, and future without losing themselves.
The inability of individuals to experience continuity of feelings directly is closely related to the loss of self-awareness of the body as a unity of self.
