Mindfulness vs. Awareness

Download the Selfpause Mindfulness App

Mindfulness and awareness are two different concepts, but they are not the same. The key difference between the two is that awareness is a filter that separates relevant thoughts from intrusive ones. Without a strong sense of awareness, we are easily sucked into our thoughts, causing emotional distress. By learning to detach from our emotions, we can better distinguish relevant thoughts from intrusive ones.
