I have decided to start my own set of challenges in order to create more mindfulness in my everyday life. I will start small. This week’s challenge is to meditate everyday for at least ten minutes. Doesn’t matter when, as long as I just become silent and focus on my breathing.
The last couple of weeks has been very chaotic, and this will be a good way to balance my energy and emotions. The idea is to set a new goal each week, adding to the previous week’s challenge.
You can even join in and let me know how it goes for you.
Mindful meditation
– Concentrate on your breathing
– Breathing must be natural and gentle
– Become aware of your body movements and sensations as you breath
– Become aware of any sounds, smells, sensations around you without thinking about it, just experience it
– When your mind starts to wander, simply bring it back to your breathing
– Simply observe what unfolds in this present moment
– Let all thoughts, sounds, ideas, feelings etc. run their natural course.
– Be aware, experience and let go
