It is held every year on September 12 International Awareness Day or Mindfulness Day.

The purpose of this day is to increase public awareness of the usefulness and value of mindfulness.

How did mindfulness earn its date on the calendar?

• It is a person’s ability to mentally and physically feel the real moment. In a broader sense, this is the ability to focus attention on some process, the ability to feel one’s body, its needs, one’s own emotions, as well as restrain one’s evaluative judgments and remain confident in one’s beliefs even in moments of criticism. Studies have shown that awareness in the modern rhythm of life can change a person’s view of everyday things and situations.
