Mindfully is an adverb that infers careful and purposeful attention to something, often in a deliberate and non-judgmental way. There are various synonyms for this word, and some of these words include attentively, consciously, awarely, thoughtfully, prudently, vigilantly, diligently, and apprehensively. While mindfully denotes the act of focusing one's thoughts and attention on something without being reactive or judgmental, alertly, attentively, and vigilantly connote the idea of being watchful and aware of one's surroundings. Diligently, on the other hand, has a more specific meaning, often involving persistence and hard work, while thoughtfully and prudently refer to the act of being reflective and cautious in one's actions.
