Introduction to Mindfulness: Beginners Edition

Here is a small guide packed with information on what Mindfulness is, how one can practice it, and how it can positively impact your life! 

The Definition of Mindfulness

 

Mindfulness is a basic human nature that involves being fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing. It does not involve being overly reactive or overwhelmed by the events going on around us. People of all age groups can practice it. 


 

Fortunately, mindfulness is a trait that every human being possesses. It’s not something you have to learn, you just have to know how to access it. 

The Various Types of Mindfulness Practice

 

While mindfulness is inherent, it can be refined through some proven techniques. Here are a few examples:

 

  • Sitting, walking, standing, and moving around;

 

  • Short breaks and pauses we take in our everyday life;

 

  • Performing meditation practice with other activities, such as yoga, aerobic, or sports.

 

Benefits of Mindfulness Practice

 

People who suffer from anger issues, low self-esteem, concentration problems, etc are advised to practice Mindful meditation. It helps in keeping the mind and body calm. As an added asset, one can spread positive vibes in the environment!

 

When we are mindful, we reduce stress and enhance our daily life performance. We even gain insight and awareness by observing our minds. It also increases our attention towards others' well-being.

 

Mindfulness meditation gives us some time in which we can suspend judgmental thoughts. We can unleash our natural curiosity about the workings of our minds. We can approach our past experiences with warmth and kindness towards ourselves and others!
