Hey there, I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend and that you’re entirely ready to embark on what the new week has installed for you. The topic of today’s blog post is mindfulness
Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present in the moment that is going on right now. Without thinking about the past, the future, or other things going on in your life.
Practicing mindfulness helps us focus on what we are doing right now, and concentrating on what you are doing right now, has two beautiful effects.
1. It helps you become more successful at whatever it is you are doing.
By shifting those negative thoughts to positive ones, you are teaching your mind to merely manage how you feel about certain circumstances more effectively and efficiently. You become entirely focus without any distractions whatsoever, and in return, more productive in every aspect of your life. Once we’ve come to terms that the only thing we can change is ourselves, not the past or future or anyone else for that matter. And to realize that the only thing that is worth our effort is to be in control of our minds.
2. Mindfulness gives your mind a break from those worry thoughts and concerns.
Isn’t it great to know that we can take a break from worrying and being sad about our situations from time to time? That’s one of the things that mindfulness does. It allows us to give our minds that rest it deserves by helping us focus on the present moment instead of what happened in the past, or what the future looks like for us. It takes away those uncertainties that life throws typically at us and gives us peace and maximum mind relaxation.
And with that said, I like you to take a few deep breaths so that if someone is near you, they could hear you breathing. And if you find that your mind has wandered off, just gently bring it back to your breaths.
Do this for 5-10 mins whenever you have time, and you would begin to notice changes with your mind. As we all know, the mind is a powerful thing.
Agreed! I have been workong on my thoughts, resting my mind, destressing, etc…more lately and it really helps. I just meditated for 45 minutes and while that does not seem like a long time I feel refreshed and able to push forward with my day now.

45 minutes meditation to me is a highlight, you surely feel refreshed after that.
I try to always have mindfulness. And I love this pink sweater. Taking deep breaths always seems to help me out.

Author
Thank you so much, Happy Sunday!
I have heard the term “Mindfulness” many times, but was never really quite certain what it meant. You have explained it beautifully!
Author
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment.
I do agree to invite and always think positive thoughts. I absolutely love your pink outfit!
Author
Thank you so much, happy Sunday!
Love this – and so true, it really does help put things in perspective and allows us to stay more optimistic. An inspiring post!
Author
Thank you so much. Happy Sunday to you
I started meditating months ago and I definitely see a difference in how I feel. I’ve been slacking lately and I’m a bundle of nerves.
Author
I’m sure that you will pick it up again. You’re not alone.
I really need to get into meditation because life can really be hectic and it would really be of great help.
Author
Meditation takes you away from it all. Helps you find peace.
I have to admit that I tend to embrace negativism. I should really start embracing some positivity in my life.
Author
Embracing positivity will definitely transform your way of thinking thus, gives you more fulfillment.
So true about being more successful at what you are currently doing. I think we could all use positivity in our lives.
Author
That’s right babes. Thank you.
Mindfulness isn’t as easy as I think it should be at times. I have taken to listening to new age music (like a spa!) or to meditation apps throughout the day to get myself on track. It definitely helps!
Author
I have a meditation app which I love, it does make it a lot easier to focus.
I agree, sometimes I feel I need to be more present in life. I like your tip of breathing, I think when we do take that deep breath it helps us to focus and relax.
Author
It definitely does, helps us pay more attention to our surroundings.
Embracing positivity is a great way into a better life. When we focus on negative thoughts not only we see the situation in a grim way but also seam to attract more negativity in your life. Being positive (but not silly optimistic of whatever) is an awesome way to make your life better
Mindfulness is so important!! I love this post so much!! Such a cute outfit too!!
Author
Thank you so much.
With mindfulness, you will always have that positive aura no matter what is going on around you! This makes it easy to succeed in what you do.
Author
That’s right, succeed in every aspect of your life.
It does help to reduce all the stresses you have. When you get away from the things which distract you it helps reduce that stress.
Author
That’s absolutely right. Thank you.
Meditating surely helps keeping all the stress at bay. Some self time for introspection is necessary and I keep some time for me every day
Author
That’s how to do it. Thanks for stopping by.
I started meditating with Head Space a few months ago and so far I love it! I can tell a real difference with how I react to my emotions and I’ve learned to be fully enveloped in the present moment more and more. Mindfulness is a very important tool to have!
P.S. I LOVE your lipstick!
Author
Oh, that’s amazing, great job babes. And thanks for stopping by.
I need to start reading more about mindfulness because a lot of people write a positive things about it
Author
It’s a great technique for a happy mind.
Very important topic, thanks for sharing! Also, that sweater and smile of yours are BEAUTIFUL!!
Author
Thank you so much.
Great post! I’ve been trying to meditate more, these days, and I can definitely see the difference from the days that I don’t meditate. We all need to remember take care of ourselves, our minds especially.
Author
Absolutely, right. HAppy Sunday
Mindfulness is VERY important! I practise this daily and love the positive feeling that I have throughout the day!
