How to Lead a Mindful Life? – MindYog Approach

A person’s experience of time tends to be subjective and heavily influenced by their emotional state. Fears and insecurities about the past and the future can make it difficult to fully appreciate the present. The key is learning how to pay attention.

Mindfulness can take place through meditation sessions or smaller moments throughout the day

A Mindfulness technique used by the psychologist at MindYog- Indias Best Psychological wellness centre is:

• Sit down and taking deep breaths.
• Focus on each breath and the sensations of the moment, such as sounds, scents, the temperature, and the feeling of air passing in and out of the body.
• Shift your attention, then, to the thoughts and emotions that you’re experiencing.
• Allow each thought to exist without judging it or ascribing negativity to it.
• Sit with those thoughts.

The experience may evoke a strong emotional reaction. Exploring that response can be an opportunity to address or resolve underlying challenges.
