Season #2 Mindfulness
Hey there, welcome back to Season 2! If you're here, this means that you can benefit from some information on ways that you can achieve balance & become more mindful. To upgrade your mindset to be capable of manifesting the life you desire. Mindfulness is very much needed in our lives today. It creates the space for us to have a pure connection with our true (inner) selves—the connection we need to know our purpose in life. If you're here, you are ready to start #OVERCOMING!
Here is the who, what, when, where, and why. A little background info to get us started on the right track.
Who - Anyone who finds themselves distracted from their true purpose in life, or wonders what their life's purpose even is. Anyone who has experienced trauma or situations in life that hinder their progression in any area of life family, work, relationships, etc. For anyone wanting to discover the truth about themselves.
What - Put simply, Mindfulness is being fully aware of yourself. Everyone's individual life/journey is a sum of the things we have experienced.
-We are products of our environment -We are creatures of habit.
Practicing mindfulness gives us that space to establish awareness. Awareness of how/why we respond to things (in other words, how we feel about things) in our current life's space. This is frequently a residual effect of an experience from the past. When you have that space of awareness, you create a personal environment where you can learn and make a decision to change your responses to future events as they occur. Thus bringing in a trajectory for a better life/environment/mental space, causing more positive reactions to things regardless of what happens. Ultimately leading to a better overall experience! Side note- so if you have any level of issues with anger, then this practice is also good for you.
When- At any time! I like to start in the morning. I have it on my list as the first thing of the day I do after brushing my teeth. I had to adjust my schedule and wake up a few minutes earlier to do this. I just recently added some space to practice mindfulness at noon, so I'm on it twice a day! Before bed is good as well. But, any time of day is an excellent time to take a moment to get in touch with yourSelf. To clear your mind of all the world's chatter and just be.
Where- Since this is something that you want to practice often (because "practice creates discipline"), you want to choose a space that can always be available whenever you are ready. Find a quiet area with no distractions and, if possible, with no noise. Eventually, you'll be able to practice almost anywhere at any time because it is a mental practice. Whatever area you choose, make sure in the beginning stages of practicing to use this same space every time. In doing this, you will train your mind to get ready to relax as soon as you head toward that area.
Why- When you pay attention on purpose, there is a level of awareness that arises in your experience. Just like when you are in the phases of learning something (take education, for example). When we clear away other thoughts and focus on what's being taught, we can absorb that knowledge. Conversely, we can not absorb that knowledge if we are distracted. Thinking about our relationships or parent issues, our own failures/struggles are all examples of how we can be distracted from absorbing something new. We have to be fully present at that moment to lock in the information. Having a connection with ourselves through mindfulness allows us the time and space to quiet everything else in the world that is happening and simply focus on Us (ourselves). And in return, we learn about ourselves. Of our True Self!
How- Obtaining such a connection with ourselves is achieved by taking some moments every day to be alone and/or alone with our thoughts. Society currently (& always) has us so distracted from ourselves. This is easy to do because we crave things to comfort us. We want to ignore hurt and enjoy comfort. So, to capitalize on us, they just create so many things that keep us distracted. We easily attach to them because they provide that instant feeling of comfort by causing the brain to relax. (another topic for another time) So, giving yourself this allotted time to break the cycle of subconscious actions, which are those habitual schedules and habits, focusing on yourself, begins to build a more inward connection than a worldly one. Thus, exposing more of your true self to yourself. Allowing you to become a being of that inner guidance rather than a product of all outside factors. Even beginning a new trust system with yourself.
This should be enough information for you to get started on the journey to becoming more Mindful. More Mindful of self.
