Imagine we all had this amount of focus towards the present and not the future and the past. The more present we are, the more we can get done.

when practicing mindfulness/meditating I like to think of my thoughts as waves coming in from the ocean. I acknowledge them as they splash up on shore. Then I peacefully and effortless watch them withdraw back to the sea. There's no time to analyze the waves or think about them in detail. One can simply just observe them for a brief moment and then watch them go on.

I’ve been practicing mindfulness meditation for a while now and still find my heads all over the place, I’ll add this to my technique and keep trying.

Mindfulness simply means being present ! It is something i struggled with for so long … it doesn’t matter if what you’re ruminating on is positive or negative in the long run it causes you a lot of unhappiness and stress regardless 😊 Being mindful and focused should be taught to every child because even the ones that struggle (like me with OCD/adhd) it can still always improve with practice !

Mastering mindfulness has truly transformed my perspective on life. Embracing these practices daily has been a game-changer for me.

Anxiety is from living in the thoughts too much, by relaxing and moving into your body and feeling it instead thinking only does help. However chronic anxiety is a coping mechanism learned that if your in your head you can’t actually feel the emotions that we like to run away from, as we become adults it becomes learned helplessness. By being mindful we can feel and we can act accordingly to what is needed. Eg in an uncomfortable situation if you feel anxiety, you can breathe into the uncomfortable situation before the anxiety takes over and respond with saying this makes me feel uncomfortable please stop or I am leaving now. You have the power to leave most situations and not have to live with anxiety.

The mindfulness book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels is good. It has 30 exercises for meditation and mindfulness that are helpful and practical.

This "body scan" technique is an ancient yoga technique as is mindfulness. It is normally done in shavasana. The scan is done from toes to head and back with focus on breathing, thoughts and relaxation.

Picture if we directed this level of focus towards the present instead of dwelling on the future or past. The more we stay in the present, the more we can accomplish.
