About Mindfulness

amiablePeace77 November 28th, 2020

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well heart

Mindfulness isn’t about “fixing” you

Mindfulness is not about stopping your thoughts

Mindfulness does not belong to a religion

Mindfulness is not an escape from reality

Mindfulness is not a panacea

“Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally”

How do you practise mindfulness?

Do you have any questions about mindfulness? smiley

A way that I find mindfulness is doing color pages of disney charaters.

Nice asherwolfice, sound like relaxation and fun in one package smiley. Coloring has the ability to relax the fear center of your brain, the amygdala.

I am still learning how to be Mindful, But I like to go out on my deck and sit down and observe everything around me. The noises, the scenes, the air, the sky. I try to feel the chair I am sitting on and any other sensations. Remembering this moment only.

My question is how to make that space less harder to achieve?

@scarletPear1945

That sounds like a wonderful practise scarletPear. Getting in touch with our senses is very grounding. What I realized with myself is that the more I do want to achieve a certain state of mind, the less it happens. Relaxation comes much easier to me when I just give in to the moment, just sit, observe and be okay with that state.

I try and be mindfull most of the time. I love being mindful when I'm listening to music or going for a walk. Those are some of the best times for me.

Those sounds like great mindful things to do to take time for yourself.

@Goldcherry2113

Listening to music and being outdoors are such great ways to be mindful!

How do you practise mindfulness? I meditate but also bring mindfulness into simple things like washing dishes and cleaning chores.

smileyDo you have any questions about mindfulness? I am always interested in how others bring mindfulness active in their own life. Making mindfulness active in every day life is true success.

@soulsings

Nice soul, mindfulness can truly be brought to anything in life, it makes everything better, even washing the dishes laugh.

I believe it's all about practising mindfulness, really doing it with intention, not just for a few minutes but making it a priority.

I practise Mindfulness by: breathing more slowly, consider my feelings and know that they are just feelings, not react but take a step back and breathe, care for myself firstheart

@RumpleSteeleSkin

Nice Rumple!

Sometimes feelings can make us say or do things we regret lateron so it makes a lot of sense to me to step back for a moment and not react immediately.

You are truly an "oldie" in mindfulness laugh yes.

As far as it concerns learning, I think we can learn from everyone and everything if we open eyes and ears

Hi, I have a question about mindfulness.

Does mindfulness help with anxiety or depression?

1 reply
amiablePeace77 OP December 18th, 2020

@amiableTurtle9543

Hi there, thanks for your question. A regular practice can help your brain better manage stress and anxiety that can trigger depression. Meditation trains the brain to be able to focus better , and to return to that focus when negative thinking, emotions, and physical sensations intrude. You can start with a few minutes per day and build up from there. smiley
