Is there a need for me to be mindful? Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting it without any judgement. Mindfulness is now being examined scientifically & has been found to be a key element in stress reduction and overall happiness. Stress is rooted in fear, which is one of the two core human emotions as per latest studies & the other one being love and so mindfulness comes in as a compassionate means of relaxing the body. What forms of mindfulness can be used: Very important components of mindfulness include elements of love and compassion for oneself & others. Practicing self-compassion in meditation, for example, may look like the mind wandering from the present moment with thoughts about the day & then gently reminding oneself to come back to focus without judgement for being distracted. Medication can feel really overwhelming for people who will be practicing this new as they might feel that they need to focus on their thoughts for an hour or so. But it can be as short as five minutes too to focus on one’s thoughts as it might look really different for every person. Yoga can be practiced by focusing on one’s breath as it brings the complete attention into the present moment of one’s mind & body rather on focusing on the to do list for the day or the current pressure going on in life. Other components may include acceptance, gratitude and letting go of self-judgement and expectations & paying attention to one’s present and forgiving and forgetting the past. Just take a moment to breathe in your own space, in your own body and it can really make a big difference detoxing from the anxiety & stress in our lives.
