Mindfulness is about paying attention in the present moment without evaluation or judgement. It is about noticing what is going on in the here and now – both inside ourselves and with others. Mindfulness asks us to pay attention, not only to what we are thinking, but also to what is going on in our bodies and what we are feeling. It invites us to get out of our heads, where we can spend oodles of time worrying about events already past and anxiously fretting about events yet to come – leaving little space to notice what is actually happening in the present moment. The ‘in our heads’ approach is likely to lead to the same old patterns repeating – continuing to believe that when something goes wrong it is either ‘all my fault’ or ‘all their fault’ – and so the blame culture lives on. kingsfund.org.uk/blog/2014/01/what-mindfulness-has-offer-health-and-social-care
