MINDFUL LIVING

Mindfulness is to be fully present. There are so many ways to be mindful at every moment of our waking hours. However, to live mindfully, it takes practice. Similarly, like you train for physical fitness, mindfulness is training your mind. 

Why does mindfulness matter? 

Because we know that eating right and exercising is not enough for overall well-being. When stress, anxiety, and depression become part of our everyday life, taking care of our mental health becomes part of it, too. The simplest way to help ease these mental difficulties is to be mindful, observe and be aware of your body, of yourself, of your body’s reactions to situations. When you are in the present moment, you feel happier, and you start restoring the path towards finding yourself again. 

How does mindfulness help?

• It allows you to slow down, observe, and enjoy what is happening in the present without reveling in the guilt and regret from the past or worrying about the future. 
• It helps you clear and organize your thoughts that helps with better decision-making
• It helps you observe your fears, what makes you anxious, gives you joy, makes you feel sick/unwell (food, exercise, career, financial worries, relationships, etc.) 
• It helps you build resilience to restore your powers
• There are multiple health benefits of mindful living and meditation practices from reducing anxiety, to normalizing blood pressure, improving relationships, boosting confidence, just to name a few.
