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 are determined to change this though, you know that if you want to truly live life, then you have to make sure that you actually feel it. Live it. It is reassuring that you can actually achieve these goals through mindfulness training. You just need to employ appropriate techniques to incorporate this with the way you live life.
If you wish to start pursuing these techniques, then see to it that you are willing to create a habit out of them. The key here is constant practice. Continuous practice would help you a lot into incorporating these good practices in the way you live life. They need to be interwoven in the manner which you deal with everyday living.
You might be surprised too, that there is often no need for you to have to make grand changes to be a more aware individual. You will be surprised at how often, it is the smallest changes that make the biggest difference. You just have to find out which areas you have to change and tweak some of our negative habits.
A good start would be to appreciate your eating time better. Instead of ogling at the tv or the computer screen when having your meal, take it at the actual dining table. Savor your food. Savor the taste. Savor the texture. Use this chance to really eat and be full ad be nourished.
You can practice your awareness skills when you have to deal with waiting times too. You often have to wait for your turn when there are things that you need to do like when you shop, you go to bank, or such other things. Use this opportunity to ensure that you get to be more aware of the things that are going on around you.
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.
Aim at being kind. Aim at being compassionate. You will be more in the moment when you have compassion for the people that are around. This does not only involve those people that you know or are close to you. Make sure that this includes those whom you do not know as well.
Listen. Really listen. On of the things that people tend to do these days is to be involved in a conversation where they are not really listening to what is being said. When you really listen, you understand what is being said, you understand the message. Do not converse just to respond, but to really listen.
Avoid doing a lot of tasks at thee same time too. Some people have this thinking that doing many things all at once would actually allow them to do things faster. However, more does not always equal to better. Sometimes, when you have way too many things to do at once, you end up getting results that are not as efficient. Uni-tasking is the best way for you.
