By choosing to be present in the moment and making conscious decisions about what you need in these moments, you can choose activities that increase awareness and regulate mood.

If you are in a stressful situation, a short walk to clear your mind may be just the thing you need; or if you are feeling tense and under stress perhaps some mindful stretching would loosen your muscles and calm your nerves.

The best approach to well-being is an individualized approach, taking care of yourself by whatever means works best for you.

Day 3 - Taking Care Of Yourself

Try a mindful listening practice today.  In your next conversation or meeting, practice putting all of your attention on the person(s) with whom you are speaking.

Day 5 - Focused Attention

During a transition time today (e.g. between meetings at work, just before entering your house, just before going to bed), pause and take a whole-body breath.

Day 6- Whole Body Breathing

Daily meditation is a life changer. Meditation radically improves our wellbeing physically & physiologically.

Day 7 -Staying Present

If you have ever caught yourself unconsciously holding your breath, you’re not alone. Often, when we are stressed out or mentally preoccupied with our thoughts, our breathing patterns become shallow, sometimes pausing altogether.

To practice mindful breathing, set a timer for two minutes, close your eyes, and draw your attention to your breath. Without forcing your breath in any direction, simply witness the flow of air into and out of your lungs. Note any observable qualities or sensations. Liken your breath to an anchor, rooting you affirmatively into the present moment.

Breath Awareness

Ready to start practicing your mindfulness today?  Let’s dive in.   But let’s start off easy.  Just breathe for two minutes and focus your attention on your breath.

Simply bring gentle and consistent attention to your breath for two minutes. 

That’s it. 

Start by becoming aware that you are breathing, and then pay attention to the process of breathing.  Every time your attention wanders away, just bring it back very gently.

Two Minutes Of Mindful Breathing

At the end of the day, or at any other time you have an opportunity to rest flat on your back, use your physical body as a tool to practice mindfulness. This body scan can also be practiced in a seated position, though beginners might find it helpful to lie down. 

Begin by settling into the space through mindful breath awareness and then draw your attention to your toes. Breathe into this area of the body, witnessing it exactly as it is, and then release your attention on the exhalation. Continue this witnessing and releasing as you scan the entire body. Start with your toes. Slowly scan toward the crown of your head. Then, hold your entire physical being in mindful awareness for another few breaths.

Body Scanning

There’s a ‘secret’ that all great historical and present thinkers, philosophers, and high achievers have agreed to be a universal truth. 
This secret revolves around this simple idea: You are what you think. 

When we’re unhappy where we are in life, we seek to create change. 
So we go about transforming our environment believing that doing so will create the necessary change we hope to see. We buy things for a materialistic boost of happiness. We travel to escape our problems. We seek substances to numb the mind and help us forget. 

But of course, we fall back to where we had started: unhappy with where we are today.
And so the cycle repeats itself. We buy, we travel, we forget—always focusing on the external factors we need to alter in order to create better circumstances.
This happens because we falsely assume that change begins from the outside. In truth, the environment does play a role in changing your circumstances, but it doesn’t address the root of the cause (your thinking) that is the driver behind why you feel the way you do.

Here’s what you need to realize:

If you want to change the outside, you must first change the inside. You must change the attention of your thoughts because what you think directly influences how you feel, and how you feel directly influences how your body reacts, and how your body reactions directly influence how you behave, and how you behave comes to define who you are and what you experience in life.

It all begins with your thoughts—our life experiences spring from the thoughts we actively engage in: You are what you think.
