Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a helpful practice that can support people living with MS. It means paying attention to what's happening right now — like how your body feels or what's around you—without judging it. This can help take your mind off worries and bring a sense of calm. Many people find it helps them manage stress, pain, and other symptoms.
