Actively practicing mindfulness is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

“Mindfulness” is a bit of a buzzword right now, but that doesn’t mean that you should discredit it. Being mindful is one of the best things you can do for your body and mind!

But you might not be sure what it is. Is mindfulness just being more aware? Or does it mean clearing your mind?

Being mindful, in one sense, is like simplifying things. Normally we try to multitask all day, worrying about 20 things while doing 10. That doesn’t work too well.

Being mindful means focusing on the present moment. Being fully here. It allows you to attend to what’s going on right around you and inside you. So it simplifies things because you can just enjoy the present moment.

You can meditate to be more mindful, and you can practice it throughout your day. Whatever you’re doing, give it all of your attention. Be proactive about putting down your other worries and being present in what you’re doing and who you’re with.

Incredible Health Benefits Of Mindfulness

Mindfulness reduces stress

If we carry around all the things we have to worry about, our mind never gets a break. That's why so many people are completely burned out, feeling down, and stressed to the point of panic attacks or needing medication. This kind of worrying steals away any chance of joy or relaxation in our day,

Mindfulness creates better health

Being mindful greatly benefits your mind, and that in turn benefits your body and overall health. People who practice being mindful have higher brain function, an increased immune function, lower blood pressure, lower anxiety levels, and are more calm. We've heard this for years, but experts were talking about meditation and yoga. Both of those are ways to be mindful!

Mindfulness decreases depression symptoms

When you decrease stress and improve your health, that can help with depression. Mindfulness does that and more. It's been considered an effective part of overall depression treatment for a long time. Being mindful often helps people see and acknowledge their feelings, and that leads to better coping. Being mindful and let you say, "I see that I'm feeling that way, and that's okay." Being mindful engages the observant self, so you can notice how you're feeling, and what you're thinking, but not get completely sucked into those feelings. You can step back and analyze the situation better.
