Some Simple Mindfulness Training Techniques

By Lena Stephenson


One of the things you have always wanted to correct about yourself is your inability to be in the moment. You tend to be always drifting somewhere else. You're never really present. You are not in the moment, you're determined to actually change this. This is why you are trying to find ways on how you can.

You are determined to change this though, you know that if you want to truly live life, then you have to make sure that you actually feel it. Live it. It is reassuring that you can actually achieve these goals through mindfulness training. You just need to employ appropriate techniques to incorporate this with the way you live life.

Understand that this does not really mean for you to have to go through a formal class or educational setting to learn everything that you need to learn, you will be surprised at how many things you can actually achieve even on your own. All you have to do is make it an every day effort to practice them.

You might be surprised too, that there is often no need for you to have to make grand changes to be a more aware individual. You will be surprised at how often, it is the smallest changes that make the biggest difference. You just have to find out which areas you have to change and tweak some of our negative habits.

A good start is to ensure that when you eat, eat consciously. Take the time to savor the food that you are eating, the taste, the the texture of the food in your mouth. You will feel fuller and will eat less in the process too.

Practice being mindful during those times when you are doing nothing and waiting for your turn, waiting times are always excellent opportunities for you to be aware of what you are doing, w ho you are with, and the kind of environment that you are in. Focus on the people around you and the rest of the elements present to achieve this.

You can also practice your mindfulness whenever your emotions are on the rise. Whether you are sad or angry or frustrated, there is a good chance that you might actually flare up or show your emotions in the process. When you are emotional, you do not have better control of what you might say or do. So, be mindful of your reactions.

Be more compassionate to. Be kind to the people around you. This does not only apply to those you care, but even to strangers too. Be aware of how to treat others in such a way that you think is the way you want to be treated yourself to.

Listen. Really listen. On of the things that people tend to do these days is to be involved in a conversation where they are not really listening to what is being said. When you really listen, you understand what is being said, you understand the message. Do not converse just to respond, but to really listen.

Do one task at a time. Some people might think that multitasking is the in thing, but truly, it is not. It is only likely to cause you to be unfocused and less efficient as a result. Uni-tasking ensures that you have your attention and full focus on what you are doing, hence, better results.
