Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is founded on three core principles:
1. Cultivating present-moment awareness: Directing attention to the current experience as it unfolds, without judgment or attachment.
2. Non-judgmental observation: Developing an attitude of curiosity and acceptance toward thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.
3. Acceptance: Embracing experiences exactly as they are, without striving to change or judge them (Zou et al., 2016).

Core Principles of MBSR

Non-judgmental observation in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the practice of developing an attitude of curiosity, openness, and acceptance toward thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations rather than reacting to or evaluating them.

Non-Judgmental Observation in MBSR

Present-moment awareness in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) involves intentionally directing attention to the current experience as it unfolds, without judgment, analysis, or attachment (Zou et al., 2016).
