Practicing Mindfulness
Mindfulness is considered an age-old practice. It is being completely aware of what’s happening in the present and going inside and around you. The main idea is to not live your life on “autopilot mode” but becoming a more mindful person.
Here's how you can practice mindfulness:
- Practice deep breathing regularly. Focusing on your breath enhances concentration and motivation.
- Inculcate the habit of walking: As one walks and notices the sights and sounds around, many thoughts enter the mind. An essential practice is to note them but then return to the present.
- Practicing mindful eating: This includes being aware of the taste, textures, and flavours and stopping when you feel that you're full, and even listening to your body and acting when you're hungry.
