The Benefits Of Being Mindful

Mindfulness is a mental activity that in due course eliminates all suffering - Ayya Khema 

Mindfulness is a powerful tool that is the perfect tonic to modern day stress and anxiety. But it goes far beyond that and can be instrumental in helping you improve in a vast range of different ways. These benefits will demonstrate just how transformative mindfulness really is:

It Reduces Stress and Improves Focus

Mindfulness teaches us how to be present and exist in the moment. This helps us to rise above the stressful thoughts we might be having and even to ‘reprogram’ them in some cases. Mindfulness practice requires intense focus and mental discipline. This is something that many people are lacking these days owing to the constant distractions we get from our technology and our general ability to get any or all entertainment in seconds.

It Is Free And Accessible 

Health organisation's love mindfulness because it is something anyone can practice. Once you understand the concept and have been taught the basics, this is something you can do anywhere and with no equipment. It can even be taught over the web!

It Improves Athletic Performance

Mindfulness is only one step away from being a ‘flow state’. This is a heightened state of awareness and presence that leads to amazing improvements in athletic performance.

It Has Many Health Benefits

Studies show that mindfulness can be used effectively to combat insomnia. Likewise, mindfulness is one of the main treatments used for panic attacks. In general, mindfulness can be used to make dealing with almost any negative emotion considerably easier.

It Enriches Life

Being mindful means being present and that in turn means being aware of all the wonderful things happening around you. Instead of being in your own head, you start actually experiencing the world around you. This can even enhance your relationships.

You Will Learn About Yourself And Others

Learning to ‘observe’ your own mind is an amazing skill that teaches you how your own brain works. This is both fascinating and a very useful skill for growth and development.
When you learn more about yourself, you learn more about the minds of others too. Mindfulness will give you the means to help your friends and family and to better manage your relationships with them.
