Mindfulness

In todays blog post, I decided to steer away from my usual topics and write a more personal post.
I usually try to avoid writing personal topics on my blog, cause I feel like not everyone will agree and dread the thought of any nasty feedback or comments, but today I'm feeling like a bad ass.....so ya lets do this :)
 
Recently I have introduced a new activity into my life called 'mindfulness'.
To briefly explain what it is, its sort of a method of thinking, almost a meditation.
Accepting your current thoughts, sensations around you and acknowledging them. Being mindful is not only being aware, it is being aware of awareness. It's approaching the present experience with a reflective awareness. Basically, to put it in simple terms, its more or less a way of positive thinking, reflecting, taking in the present and appreciating the littlest things that life gives us every day.

I practice it twice everyday.  Five minutes before I get up in the morning and five minutes in bed before I go to sleep. It gives me time to reflect on all the positive things that happened throughout the day, the great people I was around and how I feel about it. It also gives me time to just breath deeply, and unwind properly.

This is such a fab way to end a long stressful day, especially if your busy like myself, or a mammy or student with loads of exams coming up. Practice it, give it a go, it doesn't cost anything and trust me your whole mood will benefit from it.

I have always been told growing up that happiness is a choice, and you are 100% respsonsible for own happiness, nobody else.
You make your own happiness.
Be mindful of your happiness.
