This review synthesizes post-2020 empirical research on the relationships among mindfulness, self-esteem, and mental well-being, focusing on higher education students. It finds meaningful connections among these variables, suggesting that mindfulness—defined as non-judgmental present-moment awareness—relates positively to self-esteem and overall mental well-being. The authors propose that these elements interact to promote psychological resilience and life satisfaction, emphasizing their collective role in supporting robust mental health among students. The review highlights the growing scholarly interest in these constructs amid rising psychological distress and identity challenges.
