Small mindfulness exercise at any place for wellness

It is not a trivial matter that mindfulness is becoming increasingly popular. There are a number of businesses that are currently showing interest in this ancient Buddhist practice that is gaining attention because to its supposedly miraculous therapeutic benefits.

According to findings from recent research, practicing mindfulness on a regular basis can lower the production of cortisol, which is the hormone that is responsible for stress, as well as sensations of anxiety and exhaustion.

To establish a better work-life balance, carrying out a couple of these straightforward exercises throughout the day can be of great assistance.

Furthermore, because you do not require anything to practise these exercises, you can do so either on your way to work or while you are sitting at your desk. Here is a list of five simple and short tasks that you may include into your daily life to practise mindfulness.

In your mind, you close your eyes and picture yourself sitting by a river during the autumn season. There are dead leaves from the trees that have fallen into the water and are being taken away by the current in a gentle manner.

Imagine that you are writing a statement or a word on a new sheet of paper, and write down every thought that comes to your head on that sheet of paper.

You also have the option of superimposing the image of your concept onto the sheet. There is also the option of writing this question down on a piece of paper in the event that you have any inquiries regarding this activity.

Each thought is consequently written down on a sheet, which then continues to flow without anyone making an effort to remember it by any means.

You have moved away from the current moment and are most likely merging with your thoughts if you find that you are no longer putting ideas on the leaves or even visualising the river at any given instant. This indicates that you have moved away from the present moment.

Through the practice of this exercise, you will not only be able to be in the here and now, but you will also be able to be in a state of permanent connection with your inner self and know that you are always experiencing it.
