How To Do Mindfulness

How To Do Mindfulness

Mindfulness is being both physically and mentally present in the moment and observe it without analyzing it. We often find ourselves lost in our own head when we should be paying attention to other important things happening around us. Our mind is a very distracting place. Through mindfulness, we can achieve alertness and a more focused mind.

Why should we practice mindfulness?

 Living our life in an unmindful way is like living in a limbo and not being in control of our lives. It’s like not being able to process your own thoughts and feeling and living in a state of confusion and perpetual discomfort over it. Mindfulness is like waking up from a long sleep with fresh mind and energy to handle things. A focused mind is better in making decisions that are not influenced by our emotions and are more in connection with our reality. Mindfulness doesn’t only have calming effects on our body and mind. It is also healing in nature. It is good for managing stress and anxiety. It can cure and prevent depression. It makes us more creative and adds character to our individuality. Apart from all this, it has been found beneficial for hypertension, cardiovascular well-being, diabetes etc.

Basics of mindfulness

 Simple but Awarding- Mindfulness is a very simple technique to practice if done correctly. You don’t have to buy anything or donate long hours to it but have strong intention for it.

Acceptance- Acceptance of your current situation and your feelings towards it without trying to change it. We can’t stop the basic function of our brain, i.e., thinking but we can stop judging our thoughts and just simply let them past. Accepting yourself and understanding that you are more than your thoughts. This is an important thing to keep in mind while practicing mindfulness so that you don’t end up frustrating yourself.

Pick your own pace- Start your practice by 2 minutes and increase time regularly at your own pace. Don’t try to push yourself into sitting for a long time.

Tracking your progress- Maintain a journal to keep an eye on your progress. Identify if something is halting your progress and work on it. Writing about your experience also helps you to recognize and letting go of your troubling thoughts.

 In this competitive era, our work life is becoming more hectic and demanding. It is one of the major causes for stress and mental health issues.
