Some Simple Mindfulness Training Techniques

By Lena Stephenson


You have since noticed that you tend to lack that ability to be in the moment. When life hands you situations, you tend to not really be truly present. You seem to either feel like a spectator as things are happening or you feel as if your thoughts are not really there. You seem to be always somewhere else.

There are many ways that a person can achieve a more aware state of mind. Many would actually choose to employ such techniques as mindfulness training. Do understand that this does not have to be rocket science. Employing some little changes to your every day habits would actually pay off big time along the way.

Understand that this does not really mean for you to have to go through a formal class or educational setting to learn everything that you need to learn, you will be surprised at how many things you can actually achieve even on your own. All you have to do is make it an every day effort to practice them.

You would be surprised about how easy it often is to introduce these changes to the way you're living your life, you would be pleased to now that you don't necessarily have to do major adjustments to get them added to the way you deal with life. Often, it's the many little things that you change here ad there that will count.

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.

Practice being mindful during those times when you are doing nothing and waiting for your turn, waiting times are always excellent opportunities for you to be aware of what you are doing, w ho you are with, and the kind of environment that you are in. Focus on the people around you and the rest of the elements present to achieve this.

Learn how to better get a hold of your emotions to. It is always easy for people to flare up when their emotions are on the rise. When one is high-strung, it is often easy to say and do things that you are not supposed to do. Learn to control these urges. Do not let emotion take over. Remain reasonable.

Be more compassionate to. Be kind to the people around you. This does not only apply to those you care, but even to strangers too. Be aware of how to treat others in such a way that you think is the way you want to be treated yourself to.

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.
