So Iv spoken about this before and find mindfulness very helpful.

Iv been doing lots of guided mindfulness practice but would love to hear if anyone has any specific practice they do.

Ohh I love when you do these threads

I practice mindfully eating otherwise I just eat and don’t actually savour what I’m eating

Deep breathing exercises I also find beneficial

And of course guided and unguided meditation especially when I do it in front of my salt lamp with no other light it gives me better focus as I can be quite easily distracted

Very into it between meetings for work, let's me focus and recenter myself. Also keeps me from getting too aroused by impure thoughts about coworkers

Thank you.

I'm not great at minfull eating but I have started mindful shopping and cooking.

My go to is one mindfully which is all about being fully in one task and fully participating.

I keep looking at salt lamps, I might put one on the Christmas list.

It's so easy to get out of practice.

There was something on Netflix by headspace but can't remember what it was called and I found that very useful.

Dan Harris has a good book called 'Meditation for fidgety sceptics'. He lays things out in quite a basic way

I'm overtired atm so mindfulness is not working as I cannot focus and let go.

So I am doing a lot of tai chi movement meditation to try and release some pressures until life balances out itself

You don't necessarily have to focus. It's not so much about meditation just been in the present moment. So eating something but really tasting it, or listening to music but really listening to music that makes sense.

I would say it’s personal to you. If the point is to remove distraction and let your thoughts come then you need to be in an environment that allows you to do that.

Weirdly that could be a busy public place?

For me being near trees and water does it.

Also doing something that doesn’t make you think so it enables thought. Like doodling. Stops keeps you present but doesn’t take too much thought so you can still feel in the moment

It's like when you're listening to a piece of classical music. You can listen to it & enjoy it but...Try closing your eyes, noticing & picturing each musical instrument as you hear them.

I find i can really zone out & drift away.

That does make sense and is something I find hard to do as unfortunately I do need to focus on things, or my brain distracts itself, this is why I find riding a bike hard, the "oooh thats interesting" takes over and boom I'm on my arse

I do this with the sea and listening to the wave pop in and suck out, things are getting less busy I just need to make more time for myself to balance my equilibrium

Mindful shopping, cooking and eating is really good where you don’t need much mind effort, like feeling , chopping, tasting . Simple tasks like garden ing , have a look into “flow” it’s related to mindfulness

Mindfulness comes in various ways, for me I do online courses, I have achieved my reiki grandmasters degree, and various other subjects, it's my form of shutting everything out and relaxing, bringing calmness etc
