mind·ful·ness
- The quality or state of being conscious or aware of something.”their mindfulness of the wider cinematic tradition”
- A mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.
Mindfulness is discussed often in therapeutic settings.
With a practice of mindfulness our attention will drift a hundred times and we will bring our attention back one hundred and one times. Let’s begin with a practice on using mindfulness in daily life.
I recommend a two minute mindfulness exercise in which you focus on your breathing for a period of two minutes, and then write down what thoughts occur within that two minute timeframe.
Learning to incorporate a mindfulness routine in your daily life can assist in making mindfulness a habit. Making mindfulness a habit in your everyday life can assist in learning to regulate in difficult situations such as when we have disagreements with our spouses or co-workers.
