Mindfulness

Mindfulness is just being present, same thing IMO. A quick search finds that others make a distinction between them but in my case I think when I learned to mindful it was described to me as “learning to be present” and so I've taken them to be synonyms.

This seems like a good definition of mindfulness and is also the way I would describe being present. I am here, and it is now, and I'm chill with that.

Mindfulness is a state of focused awareness to the present, acknowledgement of thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. Mindfulness is the practice of being mindful.

I found that definition on Medium but it's all over the internet with slight variations and often used for things I don't approve of.
