To be mindful means to be aware of how you feel and what is happening around you. Mindfulness suggests that the mind is fully attending to what you're doing and what is happening. That might seem trivial - except for the annoying fact that we are often distracted from the matter at hand.
When our minds take flight, we lose touch with our body and soon we may find ourselves engrossed in obsessive thoughts about something that just happened or fretting about the future. And that makes us stressed and anxious.
Here are some tips to help you be more mindful:
*Put your phone away when you spend time with others 📵
*Really listen to what others say in conversations and respond thoughtfully after careful consideration 👂
*Remind yourself that the task you are currently doing is the only task you need to focus on 💡
*Make it a habit to turn off the TV and all devices when you eat dinner or any other meal
It's best to focus fully on the moment at hand. When you are truly invested and devoted, you're better able to engage in life's experiences and maybe even expand your wisdom and understanding.
Another bonus of practicing mindfulness is that it can help lower stress, improve focus, and foster greater self-awareness and well-being. We can all benefit from that! 👍
