Mindfulness in a Mindless World

Mindfulness in a Mindless World

Do you feel like you are constantly on the move? Being rushed from one thing to the next? It feels like there is always the next person to talk to, the next event to go to, the next work thing to do, the next chore to do. If we let it, the current of life will wash away without us truly knowing who we are or why we are here. 

Life can feel mindless at times, with all the activity and pressures weighing us down and keeping us hectic. That is where mindfulness comes into play. To put it simply, mindfulness is being in the moment. It is being aware of yourself, your body, your thoughts, your emotions, your environment, your present moment. This world wants us to be ever focused on the next, but mindfulness invites us to pause, to be, to live.

Being mindful and living in the present moment takes intentionality. We must choose to stop and focus on the here and now, instead of the future. Taking moments throughout the day to breathe, to meditate, and to focus on your own sensations and awareness. These small choices of mindfulness can help you to fully experience and enjoy who you are and the life you live. Take the time today to be mindful.
