Reaching a state of mindfulness involves a complete awareness of one’s own thoughts, feelings, and surrounding environment. This allows for a greater connection with the wider world, as a mindful person has the ability to connect with the present moment, rather than being pre-occupied with events of the future or past.

Why should we all be a bit more mindful?

 

The constant demands of everyday life, ranging from work, deadlines, responsibilities, traffic, meetings, social media and so on, means that we are often left with too little time to think about ourselves. By focusing your efforts purely on yourself and your thoughts, you can become truly present in a moment and adopt a positive state of mindfulness.

Any person who has a desire to connect better with their inner self can benefit from practicing mindfulness. By focusing on the present moment, while accepting all feelings, thoughts and sensations without judgement, you should be able to appreciate the purity of life on a greater level.

The advantages of mindfulness can include:

  • A greater connection to the wider world
  • A better relationship with your inner self
  • Stress reduction through a shift in focus
  • A stronger ability to deal with unpleasant situations

How can mindfulness be best achieved?

 

Of course, our minds are constantly thinking, processing and analysing situations, which can often make it difficult to focus on one particular thing.

This is where meditation can help. Concentrating your efforts on the physical sensation of breathing can be used as a reminder of the present moment.

With a little practice, becoming more mindful can become part of your daily routine. By setting aside some quiet time everyday to concentrate on reflecting your thoughts back into the present moment, you could reap the long-term mental and spiritual benefits of mindfulness.
