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.
You decided that this is not something that you would want to be experiencing the whole time. You do know that there are a lot of things that you can do to get this changed. You can choose to get into a mindfulness training. You will be surprised at how many things you can actually do to correct this.
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 is to ensure that when you eat, eat consciously. Take the time to savor the food that you are eating, the taste, the the texture of the food in your mouth. You will feel fuller and will eat less in the process too.
A good way to practice your mindfulness abilities would be during those waiting times. You have experienced this when lining up in the checkout counter or waiting for your turn at the banks. Use this opportunity to take in your surroundings, process what you see, and really take in what are present in your current surroundings.
You can also practice your mindfulness whenever your emotions are on the rise. Whether you are sad or angry or frustrated, there is a good chance that you might actually flare up or show your emotions in the process. When you are emotional, you do not have better control of what you might say or do. So, be mindful of your reactions.
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.
Listen to whoever it is you are conversing too. Some people often mistake hearing for listening. Others tend to have conversations where they just listen to respond to what is being said and then not understand what was being said. Make it a habit to listen- to truly listen.
Avoid multitasking. Sure, you might think that you are actually accomplishing a lot of things at the same time, but it has been proven time and again, that this is not the case. Uni-task. This allows you to focus and give your one hundred percent to what you are doing. Then, you get more than satisfactory results.
