- Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and engaged in the moment, aware of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment.
- By cultivating mindfulness, you can reduce stress, improve concentration, and enhance your overall well-being.
- Research has shown that regular mindfulness practice can lead to better emotional regulation, increased resilience, and a greater sense of peace and clarity.
Mindfulness can be integrated into your daily routine in various simple ways:
- Mindful Eating: Pay attention to the taste, texture, and smell of your food. Eat slowly and savor each bite.
- Mindful Walking: Take a few moments to notice the sensation of your feet touching the ground and the movement of your body as you walk.
- Mindful Listening: When talking to someone, focus entirely on what they are saying without planning your response.
- Mindful Breathing: Take a few deep breaths and bring your attention to your breath during moments of stress or whenever you need a break.
By incorporating these practices into your daily life, you can enhance your ability to stay present and manage stress more effectively.
Starting a mindfulness practice can be more effective with professional guidance. At “Explore Focusing,” we offer personalized mindfulness sessions designed to fit your individual needs and lifestyle. Here’s how you can get started:

In our group circles (maximum of 6 participants per circle), we gather to share personal stories in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
Each session begins with a grounding exercise, followed by rounds of storytelling where each participant has time to speak and listen mindfully, according to the prompt of the day.
We conclude with reflection and discussion, promoting self-awareness and emotional healing. These circles foster a sense of community and connection, empowering people to embrace their authentic selves.
We don’t give opinion to other’s stories and we don’t judge. You don’t have to tell a story when you’re not in the mood (although we always encourage you do to so), as simply listening to other’s stories already helps you on connecting with your own self!
Elga Vianna – PgD in Neuroscience,
Positive Psychology & Mindfulness
Hi, I’m Elga. After 11 years in hospitality management, including six years abroad, I realized in 2019 that the 14-hour days, team management, and constant directives weren’t for me anymore. Despite my love for coaching and guiding people in a corporate setup, I knew I needed a change.
It took another two years for me to discover that mindfulness was my new path. I found that the techniques and insights I had developed could help others overwhelmed by multitasking and corporate stress. With a postgraduate degree in Neuroscience, Positive Psychology and Mindfulness, I’m now dedicated to sharing these practical strategies to help people develop self-awareness and problem-solving skills, finding clarity and balance in their lives.
