Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something. A mental state achieved by focusing awareness on the present moment while calmly acknowledging & accepting feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations. If you could describe in one word what’s most important to you what would that word be? Happiness? Peace? Whatever that word you can better achieve it with Mindfulness.

Mindfulness is a way to rise about stress and trauma. Mindfulness has four key components. Paying attention – Listening, watching or considering what naturally exists. On Purpose – Intentionally increasing awareness of experience. In the present moment – Focusing on the here and now. Non-judgmentally – Being curious and objective about experience.

Paths to Mindfulness include doing your best (but don’t seek perfection), approach the task you are doing right now as the most important thing you have to do, forgiveness, pay respect to the task you are doing right now, gratitude, make the decision on which task to do with faith and conviction (own your decision), accept who you are, love, trust, charity, discipline.

Blocks to Mindfulness include judgement, holding grudge/assigning blame, inflated self-pride, low self-worth, fear, impatience, always wanting more (greed), suspicion, hoarding, jumping around (distraction).

Exercise, meditation and yoga effectively promote Mindfulness.
