How To Be Mindful
For a mindful practice, you can utilize anything that draws your attention. What you’re doing now can serve as a trigger, or you can use music, a physical sensation, an image, or anything else.
The best time to start mindfulness training is right now, and the best way to get started is up to you.
Mindfulness practice is a neuroplasticity training. Most of us can’t seem to escape the world of instantaneous information and communication made possible by smartphones.
Constant stimulation and diversions condition our brains to anticipate flashing images we might not be interested in.
Even though it may be tempting, we gain nothing from checking social media sites while we should be eating.
However, this spoils our experience of the food, the atmosphere, and the people with whom we’re sharing it.
Remember that practicing mindfulness is not a race or a quest for perfection. Ignore any guilt you may feel if you find yourself distracted. Simply recognize the distraction and bring your attention to your original mindfulness goal.
