 How To Have A Mindfulness Meditation Routine

In his seminal work on mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn writes that the fundamental intention behind all practices is to facilitate waking up to what is true and real for us in each moment. That may sound far more philosophical than practical, but actually, he’s pointing to something that is completely tangible: becoming more focused and observant about our present-moment experiences. Many of us spend a lot of time planning for some future moment or rehashing a past one; either way, we’re not experiencing now—and living in now brings happiness. To get started making Mindfulness Meditation part of your everyday routine, start small.

 

How Often Should I Practice?

Aim to practice for 10–20 minutes daily. You can use a timer, smartphone, or other device to time yourself; you'll find that after a week or two of consistent practice, you'll be able to calm and focus in shorter increments. If there are moments throughout your day when you're feeling overwhelmed or distracted—waiting in line at the bank, stuck in traffic—see if taking 3–5 slow breaths can help ground you. When practiced consistently, meditation is an extremely powerful way to reduce stress and anxiety and increase focus.

Mindfulness Meditation is a common practice in many religions, cultures and ways of life. It’s one thing to meditate once in a while—but if you want to start living every moment as if it were at a high point, then regular meditation may be just what you need. If you’re not already familiar with daily mindfulness meditation (or simply mindfulness), then let me quickly walk you through it. It only takes 10 minutes or so each morning (although many people like to do it first thing before they go to bed) and it can immediately improve your mood and outlook on life.

How Do I Meditate During The Day?

There are many forms and styles of meditation but there are a few commonalities. Choose an activity you're comfortable with; allow 10 minutes; focus on breathing; and don't worry about what else is going on. Here's a simple way to get started: Focus on your breath as it flows in and out, inhaling and exhaling slowly for 10 minutes (or longer). Or, set a stopwatch or timer for 10 minutes, find a quiet place where you won't be interrupted or distracted, breathe deeply through your nose into your belly. And—don't forget—relax! That said, here are three other common types of meditation

 

                                   

What Is Mindfulness?

The practice of being aware or in touch with one's feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations. The word mindfulness is used in many contexts to describe a state where you can be fully aware about everything going on around you and within you at any given moment. Research has shown that there are specific practices that help support both adults and children learning how to manage stress and emotions. Mindfulness is not passive; it is intentionally focusing on what's happening in each moment without judgement—which can lead to more calm energy during your busy workday. In order for these benefits to take place, you need to actually practice by following a daily ritual such as our 10-minute mindful meditation session below.

 What Can Mindfulness Help Me With? 

Mindfulness is about staying present. When you're mindful, you can feel everything—pain, joy, sadness—without being overwhelmed by it. If your mind is swirling with worries and distractions, daily mindfulness meditation may help provide a calming refuge from that chaos. It's been linked to stress reduction and improvements in depression. In addition to reducing negative feelings like worry or sadness, daily meditation practice has also been associated with improving memory and cognitive function in people who don't have anxiety or depression issues. All told, there are plenty of ways that daily mindfulness can help improve mental health outcomes for just about anyone who practices it regularly.

When you practice mindfulness, it’s not just about being mindful during meditation. It’s about bringing that same mindful awareness to all moments throughout your day. The benefits are endless, but here are a few: When you’re practicing mindfulness throughout your day, you’ll spend less time worrying about trivial matters and more time focused on what really matters. You can improve relationships because those around you will feel like they have your full attention when you’re talking or listening to them. You can reduce stress by observing unpleasant situations without judging them and allow yourself to respond rather than react. You can become more compassionate because it gets easier to see things from others' perspectives and recognize that everyone is just trying to do their best in any given moment.

 

Is This Just Another Fad Trend Or Is There Something Here That Will Work For Me?

There is a lot of hype around meditation these days, so you may be wondering what it's all about. The short answer is that mindfulness meditation helps us become more aware and focused on the present moment. Think about how you feel in a really good mood: you are focused and energized, everything seems to flow smoothly, life seems perfect for that moment. Mindfulness gives us access to those moments. Now imagine if we could harness them daily. Through regular practice, we learn to focus our attention on these positive moments and avoid being pulled back into negative thought patterns or habitual thinking. We build resilience against stress and can re-wire our brains for positivity
