Kind of a meditative technique. In short focusing on the "here and now" and putting anything outside of that out of your mind (work, debit, a loved one's health condition, etc.) It's associated with a lot of mental health benefits and therapies. Particularly in "the connected age".

The “Here and Now” isn’t where relationships have trouble. It’s the “What was I supposed to do yesterday?” and “do we have plans tomorrow?” That make relationships hard. Now is easy, remembering yesterday is hard.

That's a bit more of a generalization. The general premise is to have control over your own thoughts instead of having them pulled every which way.

And if yesterday or tomorrow is relevant to now, then that's supposed to be included in your "here and now".

You can find a good amount of clinical research on the benefits of mindfulness. It was enough for me to incorporate these concepts into my life.

So does anything stress-related whatsoever. That doesn't mean it is.
