Mindfulness Techniques for Peace of Mind
In this world of chaos, our minds are constantly in a race with scattered thoughts and emotions that leave us all stressed out and anxious. We find it hard to find time for ourselves to sit and relax let alone do a 30 minutes of exercise. What does this say about mental mindset? Do you think you can succeed without focusing on your mental health?
No matter what occupation you possess, whether you are an athlete who is supposed to practice day and night to get ahead, or a businessman who is so busy and trapped in multiple meetings that he can hardly relax, or you are a parent who is completely indulged in the upbringing of the children forgetting about their mental health.
No matter who you are, you deserve to have peace of mind and that is where mindfulness comes in. You can bring peace and satisfaction in your life by just practicing mindfulness principles that don't take alot of time..
Why is Mindfulness Important?
Mindfulness is all about being present in the moment. When you are well-aware of your surroundings, you know what you are doing, you will be better with dealing with adversity. You will be able to sort out the difficult thoughts and find a solution easily. It is all about developing a fully conscious mind-set that allows you to be free of the limitations, and be fully present at the moment to appreciate and understand everything you have.
Useful Mindfulness Exercises
Here are some of the easiest mindfulness exercises that you can do anywhere anytime, and you will observe a big change indeed.
• Mindful Breathing
You can do this anywhere anytime, you just have to be still for a moment and focus on your breath. Breathe in and out slowly, feel your breath, and let go of all thoughts for the moment. Focus on the sense of awareness and let the fresh air enter your body.
• Mindful listening
The idea is to listen to music or things that you have associated with past events. Only this time, you will listen to that with the present awareness that is not polluted by any past preconception. Put on your headphones, choose a good song, and listen to it while focusing on the lyrics, instruments being used, and the sound of it.
• Mindful Eating
Do you have this habit of eating with one hand and scrolling down the phone from another? Well, let’s change that. No matter how good you eat, you won’t benefit from it unless you eat it with your mind present. Don’t multi-task when you are eating something. Be present with your food and be aware of what is going inside your body.
• Mindful Interactions
It might be your daily routine to interact with your boss, coach, partner, or kids. Use the same interactions to be mindful at the moment. Be when you talking to them, put your phone aside, give them the full attention, and listen to them when they are talking.
Using these mindfulness techniques will make your life more relaxed and peaceful. You don’t have to take out time to do these things. Just be in the present moment, whenever you are doing anything, and you are good to go.
Mindfulness is a critical part of the Fight ON! Mentality, serving as one of the three foundational pillars, along with The Mamba Mentality and The Growth Mindset.
