Unlocking Clarity

People normally get stuck in a spinning pattern—thinking about multiple things that need to be done like ruminating about past events, what to cook, when to do laundry or even future events. Mindfulness helps if practiced properly, whereas the first question is:

What is Mindfulness?

It can be described as a mental state that involves being completely centered on the present and things of the present moment so that you can understand and embrace your thoughts, sensations, happenings, and feelings without judgment. This type of meditation teaches the process of slowing down thoughts and stopping negativity by calming the mind and body.

Every human being already has a quality of mindfulness. You can only learn the techniques to access it, and it is not something that you have to conjure up.

Mindfulness

Generally, a meditation on mindfulness requires breathing practice for body and mind awareness. Otherwise, Mindfulness methods have plenty of styles. Mindfulness methods do not require props or planning (no need for candles, mantras, or essential oils unless you enjoy them). Sit in a comfortable place for five to ten minutes, to get started in free time and make your mind carefree.

Mindfulness meditation helps you find ways to incorporate mindfulness into your daily life, especially when life is too busy to take some time for yourself. Mindfulness meditation is a technique that provides a variety of opportunities and tasks to practice meditation by proper practicing.

There are ample things you can do through mindfulness, as Monahan says. “Anytime that you are resting your attention in the present moment and whatever you are doing/experiencing, you are practicing being mindful,” she says. Not only does this enrich the present-moment activity/experience you’re engaging in, but it also allows you to be present in your time rather than going back into the past or the future.”

While brushing your teeth:

Feel the brush on your fingers and your feet on the floor. Feel and watch your arm moving up and down.

While Doing the Dishes:

Feel the warmth of water on your hands, different types of lights reflecting from the surface of bubbles and clunking of pans in the bottom of the sink.

While Doing the Laundry:

Focus on counting your breath while folding the laundry. Pay attention to the clean and tidy clothes, the feel of the fabric, and the light smell of detergent in the washed clothes.

While Driving.

Put on something soothing, like classical or soft music, and turn off the radio. Pay attention to yourself. Feel your spine grow tall. Feel your hands relax while gripping the wheel too tightly. If you think your mind is wandering, bring it back to the point where you focus.

In the Gym.

Do not watch television; instead, focus on your breathing and the movement of your feet on the treadmill.

Being with Kids in the Bed.

Get down with your kids and keep yourself on the same level. Listen more to what they are saying instead of talking. Answer their questions calmly, relax, and snuggle.
