Mindfulness Skills
When you are going for a walk, listening to soft music, and watching/paying attention to the things around you, is this being mindful?
No:
Being mindful is when you are doing one thing at a time and only focused on this one thing. Going for a walk and paying attention to the things around you is a great way to be mindful. However, if you are also listening to music, that is not being mindful because your brain also has to pay attention to the music.
