Get To Know Some Mindfulness Training Techniques

By Lena Stephenson


You have since noticed that you tend to lack that ability to be in the moment. When life hands you situations, you tend to not really be truly present. You seem to either feel like a spectator as things are happening or you feel as if your thoughts are not really there. You seem to be always somewhere else.

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.

If you wish to start pursuing these techniques, then see to it that you are willing to create a habit out of them. The key here is constant practice. Continuous practice would help you a lot into incorporating these good practices in the way you live life. They need to be interwoven in the manner which you deal with everyday living.

The key here of to introduce the many little adjustments that your life currently needs. They do not need to be grand gestures or complicated techniques. All you need to do is make it an effort that the little changes you are doing will be embedded into your life and become a natural part of it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
