Mindfulness is a not only a state of being, but also a state of AWARENESS. Being aware means that you are conscious enough to know that you are here, in the present. Consciousness has many implications, but to keep things simple, I will go by consciousness and "being conscious" to mean that we are awake and not in the middle of our sleeping cycle. We are awake, doing our jobs, tending to our family, buying groceries, etc. I realize many people might jump on this, but again, i am not speaking through any particular lens except the one i am using to try and help you understand this concept in a way that simplifies things.
When you sleep, you are in an altered state of consciousness. When you wake up, you are still, "here", but now you have entered a new state of consciousness called, being awake.
