Engaging in activities more mindfully - How to ensure that?

Mindfulness comes with many benefits. And this happens only when we ensure mindful living throughout our everyday life. That means we become more aware of what we are doing, keeping our focus on what's happening around, and how we are feeling. And when it comes to specific activities like eating, taking a shower, or walking; we can practice mindfulness more to be more focused on our life.

Let's see how we can do that?

• Focus on the present moment.

This is what matters most. When you do something even if it's just a regular normal activity like eating; try to keep your focus on the present moment. Keep yourself thinking from 'what if' and make a barrier on your random thoughts. Focus on what you are really doing and try to enjoy it.

However, it's common to struggle to keep the focus. Our minds will definitely run away from what we are doing. So try to feel the moments. Like when you are showing, try to feel the smell of your shampoo, the warmth of the water, etc. Try to practice this is every other activity like enjoying the food, focusing on its texture and taste.

This engagement with daily activities makes us more present and thus reduces unnecessary thoughts. Also, it makes us more productive on the way. We can enjoy life more, notice the little things in life, and be more grateful for what we have. It helps to make a good connection with our life and make us feel the positivity in itself.

Our mind will wander for sure but our job is to bring it back in the present moment. I hope this gonna help!
