Who are you and what do you do?
Hello, my name is Amy Polly. I am a mindfulness teacher, an international speaker, and a neurodiversity advocate.
What is mindfulness?
So, mindfulness, if you look it up in the dictionary, says, paying attention to the present moment with no judgement . But I like to simplify it even further to say that mindfulness simply means awareness or attention. We all have the ability to choose where to put our attention or our awareness, but often we don't choose where to put it. We're very distracted. So mindfulness is the practise of training our brain to consciously choose where we're putting our awareness, where we're putting our attention.
