Mindfulness tips and exercises

Practice and make an effort to observe yourself DURING any part of a day for a minute. Realise what is happening in your mind and body at that moment. Observe your breath, with deep exhalation and inhalation for a couple of minutes and if your mind wanders off in the process, let it be and bring it back gently again to your breathing.

Explore these 5 daily practices for more mindfulness in your life:
1) Wake up with awareness in the morning, breathe in and plan your day.
2) Enjoy every mouthful of food.
3) Give your fast brain a moment’s break whenever you become aware of it.
4) Be grateful for your life and everything in it.
5) Drive yourself calm, not crazy.
6) Consciously focus your concentration on each element of your task, whatever it may be: walking, eating, listening, brushing teeth, experiencing nature and the like.
7) Before going to bed every night, think of three things that have always been a part of your day that you neglect thinking of. But by being mindful, you realise they add value to your day. As the first thing the next morning, recall these three things and be grateful. Do this every day.
