Mindfulness is the essential human capacity to be completely present at the moment, mindful of where we are and what we’re doing, and not excessively responsive or overpowered by what’s going on around us. Mindfulness is not extraordinary. It is recognizable to us since it is what we as of now do, how we are at present. It takes numerous shapes and goes by multiple names. “Wherever you go, there you are. “— Jon Kabat-Zinn

We have many moments of mindfulness in our lives. For example, when we are late for a project that was supposed to be delivered on time, we should allow the employer to complain about us. In this sense, his anger should not confuse us. We must consciously look at our behavior and correct our behavior by accepting responsibility for project delivery time. Therefore, if we pay attention, we will experience them.
