Mindfullness

Mindfullness is a state of being where  you are acutely aware of all that happens to you, each experience, as well as those around you. Practicing mindfulness is quite simple and can improve your life, your inner peace, and your relationships with others. (Relationships meaning connections with others, be they lovers or co-workers or acquaintances.)

Living with a spirit of mindfulness means you do take time to breathe through your nose and exhale through your mouth. You take in all of that which is around you and with this breathing, you are able to shut out the negative energy that may be present, may have hijacked your mood, and may be affecting you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

See, with a mindful approach to life, you do not block out the negative, you learn a new way to approach it. You learn how to approach those around you to lessen conflict and tension and build bridges for healthy, conducive exchanges. In doing so, you pass some of this mindfulness on to the other who notices your behavior, and in doing so, you have given them a gift.

Try living mindfully today, aware of sights, sounds, smells, textures, people, and places around you. It will lighten your load of stress and it will help those around you "suddenly" calm down also.
