Mindfulness Self-Assessment Test

How Mindful Are You in Everyday Life?

Mindfulness is the practice of paying full attention to the present moment, without judgment and with a sense of openness and curiosity. It means being aware of your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surroundings as they happen, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

Read each statement and choose how often it applies to you. Answer honestly; there are no right or wrong answers.

Characteristics of Mindfulness

  • Presence in the moment: Being aware of what is happening here and now, rather than thinking about the past or worrying about the future.
  • Non-judgmental observation: Noticing your thoughts and feelings without trying to change, suppress, or analyze them.
  • Intentional attention: Deliberately focusing on something specific—such as your breath, body, sounds, or movements—and gently bringing your attention back when it wanders.

Examples of Mindfulness Practices

  • Mindful breathing: Sitting still and focusing your attention on your breath – the inhale and exhale.
  • Body scan: Gently moving your attention through different parts of the body, noticing sensations.
  • Mindful walking: Paying close attention to the feeling of your feet touching the ground with each step.
  • Mindful eating: Slowly eating a piece of chocolate or a single bite of food, focusing on the taste, texture, and smell.
  • Meditation focused on thoughts or emotions: Observing thoughts as they come and go, without trying to analyze or change them.
