Mindfulness is about living in the now, not thinking about the past or worrying about the future. Being mindful lets us focus our attention on what matters.
HOW DO I DO IT?
There are many ways to be mindful in our everyday lives. One way to do so is by mindful breathing. To get a guided sense of mindfulness, try free apps such as Smiling Mind or UCLA Mindful.
WHEN DO I DO IT?
You can practice mindful breathing anywhere! Do so by incorporating it in your everyday activities like showering or walking. If you feel yourself having negative thoughts, sit down and take slow deep breaths. Focus on your breath as it moves in and out of your body. Sitting and breathing for even just a minute can help to give you a peace of mind.
HOW OFTEN DO I DO IT?
Mindfulness takes practice so try to do it on a daily basis. The more that you do it, the better you get at it. Take at least five minutes each day to practice mindful breathing.
