These aspects are the body, mind, emotion, and faith. They work together to focus on a single thought or task we are engaged in. These aspects create synergy by working together in unison.
AbdulMalik Negedu states that reducing the usage of gadgets and social media activity is necessary to practice mindfulness effectively. Dependence on electronic devices such as smartphones and other gadgets takes away self-development and mental wellness.
