5: Personal Reflection: Top 3 Ways to Practice Mindfulness in Modern Times
In this episode, we explore ways we can bring mindfulness into our busy, hectic lives. In a world that is obsessed with multi tasking, productivity and hacks, these strategies can be refreshing and life affirming.
We may not be able to sit for a formal meditation practice and/or we may wish to practice these in addition to our formal practice. In many people who suffer with PTSD or trauma, it’s not a great first strategy to sit down to meditate.
A reminder that the most mindful humans around are little kids…let’s go learn from them!
Benefits of practicing mindfulness: inner peace, inner power - resilience. Improved relationships, increased self awareness to name a few.
Top 3 Ways I’m Trying to Practice Mindfulness
1. Walking/Movement in Nature/Outdoors
- Benefits: calming effect of nature, the sensory experience, and the connection with the environment; listen, see smell, feel.
- Practical: Engage all senses and be present during nature walks.
- Forest Bathing… Trees omit something called Phytoncides: Boosts our natural killer cells NK cells, Boosts Immune system. Reduces Cortisol, reduced stress, enhances focus and concentration
2. Mono-tasking vs. Multitasking
- Multi tasking is essentially a myth - it reduces our productivity and causes cognitive degradation. I share my story about how this is a daily practice I try to implement in my own life.
- Mono tasking benefits: focusing on one task at a time can increase efficiency, reduce stress, and enhance the quality of work.
- Implementation: give ourselves permission. Bring in awareness when we are trying to multi-task and consciously choose mono tasking.
3. Mindful Eating
- I share my story of how I used to not eat so mindfully:)
- Benefits: Improved digestion, deeper appreciation of food, more mind/body connection, more enjoyment of eating.
- Implementation: Sit down to eat, use your senses, put the phone or laptop away. Savor each bite, bring in gratitude. Prayer is a beautiful practice in many traditions.
Mindfulness is a skill and there is no destination. Find ways to enjoy the small moments in everyday life.We’re not supposed to be mindful all of the time. Work your way up to a mindfulness practice that helps you live a more peaceful and powerful life.
