Have you ever been experiencing a moment so good you took time to stop and just enjoy it? Maybe it was a sunset, a dinner with family, maybe even a moment you accomplished a goal. It was an experience you knew would mean a lot to you when you thought about it in the future.
The truth is we are experiencing these moments more than we realize but we are just too preoccupied to enjoy them. You have seen or been a part of it as it happens, two people are spending time together one or both of the people are deep into their phone, they are ignoring one another. We are all guilty of it.
Between tv, music, work, social media…it seems like our minds are every where except where we are right now. We are anxious about the future, sad about or longing for the past, and completely ignoring the present moment.
What mindfulness training does is help us practice having a single point of focus, free of distractions. Just like any exercise, it gets easier with practice. Once we know what it is like to be completely immersed in a thought or moment, we notice more often when we are distracted and it will be easier to bring yourself back to into a more focused state. This can become a useful tool when spending time with family, when you are trying clear your mind of an unpleasant experience, or when you trying to enjoy a vacation.
Every pivot towards good health is a step in the right direction, no matter how big or how small. Please call to schedule your complimentary initial consultation and sample 1 on 1 mindfulness training session.
