Mindfulness & Mind Wandering: Building Awareness

Part 5 of Mindfulness for People Who Can’t Sit Still. Where did my thoughts go? Mindfulness begins with noticing. In this short, research-based video, we explore awareness of the mind—noticing when thoughts wander, attention drifts, or the body slips into autopilot. This simple act of noticing is the foundation for developing mindfulness, attention and focus. We’ll explore the movement from mind wandering → noticing → returning → clarity, and why learning to recognise where your mind has gone is the first step before learning to guide it. A gentle introduction to mindful awareness for busy minds, distraction, mind wandering and difficulty focusing.
