Practical Ways to Practice Mindfulness
We have been finding it challenging to concentrate on what is going well with the world rather than what is wrong right now because we are all trying to adjust to a new routine of remaining indoors. Sometimes, you spend hours browsing your social media account to stay updated on the newest news, which is almost always horrible.
Or to feel closer to friends and family. With so many unknowns about the future, it’s simple to become caught in unpleasant feedback loops that eventually lead to increased stress in the body. And right now, stress is the last factor we have to strengthen our immunity scheme and maintain a good state of mind.
The body works without your help; you breathe independently, your heart beats continually, and your physical processes continue no matter what. However, our bodies are continually communicating with us via physical feelings. Check-in with your body for a bit; what do you notice?
Where are you tensing up? Do you feel any pains or aches? Feeling weighty or light? Focusing on your body may help you refocus on the here and now while providing you with the knowledge you need to properly care for your body. You may check out my brand-new course on gaining greater confidence for additional advice on leaning into body knowledge.
Another way the body communicates with us is through our emotions. You can feel a variety of emotions during the day, from despair to delight. You may become more coherent with yourself by tuning into your heart, where your emotions emanate. The Heart Math Institute, which has conducted extensive studies on the power of the heart and how it influences not just our health but also the health of others, is my go-to source for information on this.
By concentrating on our breath, we may reach the present moment more fully. Even while breathing occurs, whether or not we are aware of it, focusing on our breathing may help us concentrate. Pay attention to your breathing. Is it little or large? Take five full, deep breaths, concentrating on each inhalation and exhalation. That should be spoken three times, and you should rehearse it frequently.
Focusing on the present moment is one of the easiest methods to practice mindfulness. For a minute, put your current task on hold and pay attention to your surroundings. What sounds are you hearing? What smells are you detecting? What are the people around doing? To practice bringing your mind to the present moment, focus all of your attention on where you are and what you are doing for a short period while using your five senses to examine it.
Stop what you’re doing and start watching your thoughts while you play this amusing game. Can you accomplish that? What stands out to you? Try it out and see the results!
Have a zenful life 🙂
