GOING
BACK
TO THE
MIND!
Hi and welcome to this week's blog post
During the past week I have been considering what to put into the post and as a result of that I thought it may be useful to revisit something that continues to be a favourite topic of mine...... that of Mindfulness.
So let us take a look at some of the basics Mindfulness is about:-
Being here in the present moment!
Being without judgement
Being patient
Being kind to yourself
Being open and curious
Being trusting of your own instincts
Being non-striving
Being with "what is!"
Being about "Letting Go"
Being committed to the practice of Mindfulness - adopting it as a "way of being"
However, one question that I am often asked when I talk about "being here now!" (ie being present) is ....... How do I do that?
So here are some tips to help you become present
Pay attention (without judgement) in the present moment and do it "on purpose"
Tune into your senses and take note of what you are feeling in your body
Be an observer of your "inner world" without making any judgements or criticisms
Pay attention to and cultivate the good things! Take notice of the good and warm feelings inside of you.
How to be Without Judgement
At first this can be difficult to do because you have to simply accept things as they are and act appropriately in a way that is in your own interest.
Do not judge whether others are "right " or "wrong" - just accept that they are so and that what ever is, is!
You need to be curious but not judgemental
If you do find that you are being judgemental stop yourself!
To do this you will need to observe what you are thinking. This awareness with help you to realise whenever you are being judgemental.
Once you "STOP" judging you move on to UNDERSTANDING!
Put yourself in the place of the person you are observing (step into their shoes) and try to imagine their background. If possible talk to them and try to imagine what their back story is.
So by putting these simple tips into practice I contend that you should become more aware and that awareness will hep you move away from judgements and become more understanding and hopefully lead a calmer and richer personal life.
Thank you for reading this post, I hope that you have found it interesting and that it will be useful to you going forwards.
So until the next time have a fantastic week and I will speak to you again soon.
