Abstract
Mindfulness is the most powerful tool to live a healthy life. Research has shown that practicing mindful behaviour daily can result in long term mental and physical benefits. The current study examined the relationship between mindfulness and psychological wellbeing of youth engaged in some sort of physical fitness activity. 289 students between age range of 18 to 23 years participated in the study. The findings of the study indicate that there is positive correlation between mindfulness and psychological wellbeing. The simple linear regression analysis showed that mindfulness significantly predicts psychological wellbeing of the youth. Findings have implications for promoting mindfulness among youth.
