Mindfulness is a great way to enhance your well-being and feel better about yourself. Still, it can be difficult to incorporate into your life if you are new to it. In this article, we look over 4 easy ways to be mindful today. Each of these mindfulness techniques can be incorporated into anybody's routine. Read on to find out more.
4 Ways to be Mindful
1. Drink Coffee, Tea or Preferred Drink
The easiest way to be mindful is to incorporate it into your wake-up routine. Most people’s wake-ups start with a cup of coffee. Be mindful while drinking your daily cup. This is a great way to wake up your senses and start your day off on a positive note.
Simply prepare your drink as usual and sit down in a comfy spot. Before you start drinking, intentionally breathe in the steam and feel it go into your nose. As you sip your coffee, try to follow the liquid as it goes into your mouth, down your throat, and into your belly.
2. Put the Phone Down
Phones can be one of the most helpful yet distracting devices of the modern era. Be mindful by putting down your phone for an extra 15 minutes today. Most people find it best to go device-less in the wake-up.
Use this extra 15 minutes to recoup your thoughts, consider your feelings, and get in touch with yourself.
3. Sit Outside
When the weather is beautiful and even when it isn't, you will be able to see a variety of animals, insects, and plants. Try being mindful by going outside and paying attention to the world around you. Start by closing your eyes and simply listening to life.
Can you hear any wrestling leaves?
Are there birds chirping around you?
Is there a neighbor mowing their lawn?
Simply let your senses guide your thoughts as you are mindful of the outside world. See if you breathe any different outside too.
Even though we may be in trying times, there are ways to find gems if you just become aware of your space.
4. Journal
One of the most important facts of being mindful is getting in touch with your thoughts and feelings--they matter! Journaling daily is a great way to live in the present and quickly get your thoughts out in the open.
Try to journal every before bed. This will only take about 10 minutes or less of your day, which is not a lot at all. It will also help you relax and calm down before bed, allowing you to fall asleep faster. And that's a win-win.
