Everything we experience is through our mind, and as we can change our mind, we can potentially change anything. Is there something you would like to change your mind about ?
Perhaps ….
….. something about your job?
….. worries and concerns ?
….. how you feel and think about yourself?
….. your motivation to do something?
….. about a friend or relative
….. something that you think is holding you back?
Mindfulness is a state of mind in which we are less reactive to our thoughts and emotions as they arise, and more able to choose responses and actions. And as our mind is involved in everything we do, practising mindfulness allows us to develop new ways of responding to thoughts and feelings about anything. We can respond in a new or different way.
Over time, through practicing mindfulness, habits of thinking and reacting which may not always serve us well, can be transformed into more positive and behaviour and more hopeful ways of being. And we can find ease, relief, and a greater sense of peace and well-being. Life still presents us with as many difficulties and challenges…. but we are different, and we can deal with them in better, more positive ways.
Learning to be more mindful is simple and straightforward, although like many things in life, it requires practice. It is not a ‘quick fix’ to problems, rather a different way of responding to our life experiences.
