A Healthy You

Simple Tips To Create A Mindfulness Habit
Take a Break
Getting up from your desk and moving a bit or changing your environment forces the mind to get back to the present. Take a few moments just to regroup after a hectic meeting.
Breathe
Simply observing your breathing and trying to take some slow deep breaths sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. In addition to calming your nerves, deep breathing increases your energy level and improves blood flow.
Just Notice
Try to spend a few minutes a day just observing. Notice the way your back feels against your chair, or the way your feet feel against the floor as you sit. Being more aware of your five senses will help you to be more mindful in every area of life.
Meditate
In addition to a whole host of other benefits such as lengthening your attention span and controlling anxiety, you’ll find that even just five minutes of meditation will make you more self-aware and as a result, more mindful. Meditation can be done at any time but try to set a meditation time during the day to make it a habit that sticks.
