The Change of Mindset

The first change that we can adopt is the Change of Mind and Mindset.

With the changing times, there are high level of Stress, Anxiety and Excitement found in each of us. Be it a Celebrity or a normal individual, we all face excessive stress and excitement levels every day and hence we are prone to stress related diseases which in turn ruins our Immune Systems, Brain, Eating Habbits etc.

Before 2 days, I came across a nice article in the Entrepreneur - an online magazine, and hence sharing it here, hope it helps all of you :

Mindfulness

• Mindfulness is a simple, yet effective form of meditation that enables you to gain control of unruly thoughts and behaviors. People who practice mindfulness are more focused, even when they are not meditating. Mindfulness is an excellent technique to reduce stress, because it allows you to stop falling out of control, to stop jumping from one thought to the next and stop ruminating on negative thoughts. Overall, its a great way to make it through your busy day in a calm and productive manner.
• Practicing Mindfulness increases the density of brain matter where it counts. Mindfulness is perhaps the only technique that can change your brain in this way which produces a ripple of other positive effects. Thankfully, you can reap the benefits of mindfulness in as little as few minutes everyday.
• You will soon find mindfulness is one of the very few things that are well worth your precious time and the busier you are, the more important it is to have a clear mind if you want to be productive and efficient.
• Mindfulness doesn't have to take place in the mountains of Nepal, or a weekend retreat under a vow of silence. The beauty of the technique is that its so simple that you can do it anywhere at anytime.
• Mindfulness is the simple act of focusing all of your attention on the present. This requires you to observe your thoughts and feelings objectively, without judgement which helps you to awaken your experience and live in the moment. This way life doesn't pass you by.  

Below are the few tips to try on Mindfulness:

1. Focus on your breathing
2. Go For A Walk
3. Feel Your Body
4. Repeat one positive thing about yourself over and over again
5. Interrupt the Stress Cycle

Do try this and let me know your feedback.

Till we meet next, do write in your suggestions, feedbacks, comments to my mail id and also the relevant topics that you want me to write on.

#Enjoy being the change !
