Mindful Living: What It Really Means, And Why You Should Do It

What is Mindfulness?

Mind change is the basic ability of human beings to recognize where we are and what we are doing and to be fully present without overreacting or overwhelming what is happening around us. Mindfulness also includes acceptance, which means that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them. When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts will adjust to how we feel in the present, rather than retelling the past or imagining the future.

Why Be Mindful?

Positive effects of reducing self-reported anxiety, depression, anger, and perceived stress levels, improving self-compassion, empathy, and satisfaction with the quality of life. It also improves the health of our bodies. Improves sleep quality, improves heart health, and relieves chronic pain. Practicing mindfulness will slow your mind, focus on one thing, and improve your ability to complete one of the many important tasks on your to-do list.

How to Practice Mindfulness

In general, when you're mindful, you are aware of what's going on in the present moment rather than wishing away or analyzing what's happening in the past or predicting what will happen in the future. For example, instead of worrying about getting stuck in traffic, or worrying that the big event you're dreading will go terribly, you'll notice that you're stressed and find a way to put those thoughts aside. Rather than spending your entire day thinking about how you wish the day had been or how you'll feel tomorrow, your challenge is to notice the present moment and be there fully. You'll come to realize that whatever happened, happened. If you fail, you pick yourself up and try again. If you succeed, you celebrate.

What Happens to Us When We Practice Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a practice that builds awareness and wisdom within ourselves. It takes discipline and patience to focus on our breathing. We want to get out of the mind business and go back to the here and now. The more we pay attention to our breathing, the more peaceful and healthy we become. For beginners, mindfulness involves sitting in a comfortable, relaxed position, focusing on your breath and what your breathing feels like, and only when you are aware of that, let your mind drift off. Our minds will do this in the beginning as a way to practice stillness. When our mind settles down and becomes still, we know it. We can then examine our thoughts and feelings, as well as other parts of our body, such as our feet, back and neck, to see where we are in our physical body.
