Living mindfully is the act
of mentally slowing down and truly being in the moment here and now.
How often do you run around
multitasking and constantly thinking about the next job you need to do? Instead
of slowing down and just being fully aware of what you are doing at any moment
in time.
Being mindful is something
you can do all the time, even when you are doing the washing up, just like
meditation!
Instead of daydreaming or planning your other chores, just be there
in the moment being mindful of the task in all its glory, such as the feel and
temperature of the water, how your hands move as you glide through each dish
and plate, and the pressure that is applied to each item, and how your muscles
need to move to perform the task, mentally shut out everything other than your
present actions. Pay full attention to
your body and mind as you complete your task.
We lose the power of joy
and appreciation when we drift off from living in the moment, always living in
the past or the future and denying the present moment is a habit that many of
us have taken to doing, but living this way means we miss out on so much peace
and the connection to our higher selves.
Mindfulness can be an
excellent way to reduce stress and the pressures of 21st century
living, it can help with our overall health and increase our spiritual
vibration. Just being aware of the potential
of each and every moment has to offer us can change your life for the better,
especially if you are trying to manifest a better life for yourself, as the law
of attraction is always at work!
If you suffer from stress,
depression or anxiety, living mindfully can also be a wonderful aid in
acknowledging our mind and bodies urges and stressors, making it easier to live
through difficult moments in our lives, keeping us calmer and seeing the
stressor for what it is in the moment, then letting it go and moving on. If you are concerned about your spiritual
health and you struggle with meditation, try living your life mindfully and
pretty soon you will notice and inner calm that can be tapped into whenever you
feel the need.
If you find yourself
feeling out of control or stressed, just return to the present moment being
mindful of what you are doing, how you are feeling and be aware of all of your
senses in that moment. You can be
mindful when doing anything, such as walking, driving, eating, cooking, ironing,
working, shopping etc. The human being
is a complex organism with many systems working constantly to keep us moving
and doing, just think what our mind and body has to do just to walk down the
street, the way your muscles move and how your body automatically balances
itself with every step. Living mindfully
means that you are aware of these things in the present moment, being in tune
and at peace with our mind and body with in turn raise our spiritual connection
to ourselves, lowering stress and bringing us closer to our own personal joy.
