Metacognitive practice understands mindfulness to be a metacognitive process that is able to increase one’s ability to control their response to a situation, but mindfulness is dependent on context and specific beliefs of the person.  Metacognitive practice is a conceptualization of mindfulness coined by Ravi Kudesia and informed by metacognition and practice theory. 

Metacognitive Practice (Mindfulness)

Metacognitive awareness is the acknowledgement that one's thoughts are only thoughts, and they may not be facts. When used as a definition of mindfulness, it is called mindful metacognition, and conceptualizes mindfulness as an information processing style.

Mindful Metacognition/Metacognitive Awareness

This definition of mindfulness frames it as an information processing style, defined as intentionally keeping your attention on a current thought, rather than allowing your mind to spiral into different judgements or predictions. 

Mindful attention

This definition of mindfulness frames it as an information processing style, defined as continuously making distinctions between a current situation and past situations in order to be more aware of the uniqueness of the current situation.

Mindful conceptualizing

Trait mindfulness is centered around the idea of living in the present moment. It emphasizes living a nonjudgemental life, and it can also refer to the level of mindfulness experienced by a person during everyday activities. 

Trait/Dispositional Mindfulness

Intentional Mindfulness is simply conscious mindfulness practice. Any practice that involves consciously understanding the present moment in any and all aspects is considered Intentional Mindfulness. 

Intentional Mindfulness

These are activities that are structured and require those that participate to be able to master both their mental and physical activity. It can also be described as mindful meditative practices.

While the term originates in Buddhism, the concept of mindfulness has grown to describe a general state of consciousness in which a person is more aware and accepting of their physical senses and thoughts in the present moment. Practicing mindfulness is believed to help alleviate mental suffering.
