How To Bust Stress With Mindfulness
- 1) Start to eat your food normally (but without rushing it).
- 2) Notice taste and texture of the food in your mouth. As you chew the food, notice changes in taste and texture.
- 3) When your mind wanders or lose focus, bring your attention gently back to your eating.
Here is another mindfulness exercise, which develops mindfulness (especially on your mental experiences) and can act as an antidote to stress at the same time.
- 1) Choose a person who you are strongly grateful to.
- 2) Recognize all the kindness or benefits the person provided to you.
- 3) Notice feeling of gratitude towards the person.
- 4) For a minute, focus your mind on the feeling of gratitude that you are experiencing. You probably noticed calming effect in your mind and relaxation in your body while doing this exercise. Likewise, you can exercise mindfulness in your other daily activities such as walking, taking a shower, commuting, etc. The more you exercise and use mindfulness, the more benefits you get.
