(Video) How to Easily Practice Mindfulness Everyday
“Nothing can occur in your life experience without your invitation of it through your thought.”
- Abraham Hicks
Now before you think of this as just another woo-woo practice, let’s get real for a second.
Thoughts are the most powerful form of energy. Period. What we think, we experience. We know this scientifically as much as we do biologically. We see it in health miracles. We witness it in our everyday lives. The thoughts we think create the reality we live.
Mindfulness is the practice of awareness — the most powerful tool to managing our mind and changing our feelings. Because, yes, our mind can’t be trusted. And YES, we can control how we feel!
Mindfulness isn’t some fluffy self care ritual that requires guided meditation. It doesn’t mean we close our eyes and count our breaths. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Mindfulness is now. It’s the awareness of what is — both internally and out.
As you read this, start to notice your breath.
(inhale….exhale….)
Immediately, your focus changed the respiratory process. Maybe you deepened your breath, or slowed it down. Simply by being conscious of it.
As you continue to breathe, glance up at where you are right now.
What 5 colors do you see?
What do you feel against your skin?
What noises do you hear?
Taking a moment to pause to BE is such a powerful tool. We have access to it at any point. The problem? We forget in our everyday lives. (It’s hard not to when we have so many freaking things fighting to get our attention!) And we’re not always sure what to do with the information we receive when we become present.
In my personal mindfulness practice, I’ve found that self inquiry is a great way to help me stay conscious + centered throughout the day. Not only am I more productive, I’m better able to flow with life rather than try to control it.
Learn the 3 questions to ask yourself everyday to create a more mindful + intentional day. EVERY. DAY.
These questions will be the compass for each moment of your day. Ask them while you sip your coffee in the morning. Or during your meditation practice. Or in traffic on your way to work. You can expand on these for as little or as long as you’d like — 1 minute is all you need to get started.
When you’re aware of your thoughts + feelings, you take your power back and gain control over creating your desired reality.
