Getting To Know 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 you do not necessarily have to undergo a formal training to achieve the results that you are hoping for. This is more on being able to make the right adjustments to the way you are doing things wrong. Then, ensuring too, that you get these cages embedded in the way you live life every day.

You would be surprised about how easy it often is to introduce these changes to the way you're living your life, you would be pleased to now that you don't necessarily have to do major adjustments to get them added to the way you deal with life. Often, it's the many little things that you change here ad there that will count.

Simple things like eating consciously for starters would mean a lot in the long run, you need food to keep your body energized and nourished. Hence, it has to be an experience that you must savor and not actually rushed through, be conscious of what you are eating, of its flavors, its textures.

You can practice your awareness skills when you have to deal with waiting times too. You often have to wait for your turn when there are things that you need to do like when you shop, you go to bank, or such other things. Use this opportunity to ensure that you get to be more aware of the things that are going on around you.

Learn how to better get a hold of your emotions to. It is always easy for people to flare up when their emotions are on the rise. When one is high-strung, it is often easy to say and do things that you are not supposed to do. Learn to control these urges. Do not let emotion take over. Remain reasonable.

Aim at being kind. Aim at being compassionate. You will be more in the moment when you have compassion for the people that are around. This does not only involve those people that you know or are close to you. Make sure that this includes those whom you do not know as well.

Learn to listen, really listen. Avoid being in a conversation where you are only there to respond. If you want to be really in the moment, then make sure that you really understood what is being said to you.

Avoid multitasking. Sure, you might think that you are actually accomplishing a lot of things at the same time, but it has been proven time and again, that this is not the case. Uni-task. This allows you to focus and give your one hundred percent to what you are doing. Then, you get more than satisfactory results.
