Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a simple yet powerful practice that can help us to live more fully in the present moment, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance our overall well-being. In this guide, we'll explore what mindfulness is, how it works, and the benefits it can offer.
What is mindfulness, and how is it practised?
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment, without judgement or distraction. It involves being fully present and aware of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations, as well as the environment around us.
One common way to practise mindfulness is through meditation, which involves focusing on the breath or another object of attention, and bringing the mind back to the present moment whenever it wanders.
Another way to practise mindfulness is through everyday activities, such as walking, eating, or washing dishes, by bringing our full attention to the sensations and experience each moment.
How does mindfulness help to reduce stress and anxiety?
Mindfulness can help to reduce stress and anxiety by bringing our attention back to the now rather than being caught up in the past or the future. By being here now there is allowing and space for us to observe our thoughts and emotions without judgement or reactivity.
By practising mindfulness regularly, we can train our minds to be less reactive to stressors, and more resilient in the face of challenges. We invite a few moments to pause and become more responsive rather than reacting.
