How to start Mindfulness Practice regularly

Basically defined, mindfulness is the practice of consciously directing observation to the present moment without perception. Informally, it is the regulation of noticing what is happening—personally and extraneously—before reacting.
This distinction matters.
An Expert who practices mindfulness regularly reports:
- Boost focus and decision-making
- Better emotional regulation under pressure
- Reduced stress reactivity
- Greater clarity in communication
Not overnight. But gradually.
And it is gradually sustainable.
