It's easy to just go along and be on "autopilot" and it's easy to fall into bad habits, to not attend your wants/needs and to not be present on a daily basis. The consequences of not being mindful can be costly and can result in you missing out in life and all it has to offer. Earlier in life this was me. I was not mindful and I put things off and took things for granted. Nowadays I am more mindful, not only about myself but also of those that surround me.
To practice the art of mindfulness involves you actively and thoughtfully being present and paying attention in life. These days I try as much as I can to be mindful of not only myself but of others....
The things that I have openly practiced are trying not to be too hard on myself , practicing at staying present, and embracing relaxation. Practicing staying present has been difficult. Turning away from less than ideal situations or running when life hands you lemons is difficult. Recently I had a moment. A moment that turned my world upside down. I went from knowing my future to darkness. I wanted nothing more than to run from the pain. However, with time I found a way through.....Through it I found something in myself, a resilience that was present. On a daily basis the pain, although still present becomes less and less. Eventually it will become a distant memory.........
