Getting To Know Some Simple Mindfulness Training Techniques

By Lena Stephenson


You are always concerned over the fact that you seem to be living life in a way that makes you not present. Yes, you are there when things happen around you, but you just seem to feel detached from the many situations that you are involved in. Sometimes, your thoughts tend to fly off easy too.

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 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 would be to appreciate your eating time better. Instead of ogling at the tv or the computer screen when having your meal, take it at the actual dining table. Savor your food. Savor the taste. Savor the texture. Use this chance to really eat and be full ad be nourished.

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.

The way you deal with your emotions should be part of what you must look into too. It is normal for people to flare up, get angry when they are place in situations that are upsetting and not exactly ideal. Use these opportunities to get a better grip if what you are feeling. Then, you won't have to end up saying or doing something you'll regret.

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 doing a lot of tasks at thee same time too. Some people have this thinking that doing many things all at once would actually allow them to do things faster. However, more does not always equal to better. Sometimes, when you have way too many things to do at once, you end up getting results that are not as efficient. Uni-tasking is the best way for you.
