Helpful Mindful Activities You Can Use Throughout Your Day

Going through life, we do so many things automatically. When you do something over and over, it can reach the point where it becomes a mindless task.

You can do a task and finish it, then realize your body worked to complete the project while your mind was actively engaged in something else.

Mindfulness can help you learn to be present, to refocus your thoughts so that you’re actively experiencing your life rather than walking through it on autopilot.

Sometimes, people assume that mindfulness is a time consuming practice where you have to sit quietly somewhere for a lengthy amount of time.

While you can enjoy sitting quietly, it doesn’t have to take a long time.

In fact, if you don't want to or don’t have time to just be still and practice mindfulness, then you don’t have to.

There are many ways that you can be mindful throughout your day without ever having to take a break from whatever it is that you’re going.

Knowing this has helped many extremely busy people to be able to get into the habit of practicing mindful activities.

One simple way to practice mindfulness is by brushing your teeth. You do this so often that you probably do it without even thinking about it.

Instead of brushing your teeth on autopilot, take the time to focus on the steps involved in this routine.

Feel the bristles of the brush as they cross your teeth and tongue. Pay attention to the thickness of the toothpaste of the flavor of it.

While you’re brushing your teeth, pay attention to the process and don’t let your mind think about worries or negative thoughts.

Another way that you can practice mindfulness as you go about your day is through mindful listening.

So many times, there are sounds around you and yet you don’t even hear them because you’re not listening with a focus.

Wherever you are, you can take a few seconds to listen to the sounds.

You might be able to hear a bird singing, the wind blowing or the distant roll of thunder.

You can practice mindful listening with popular music or with instrumentals.

Hear each sound and focus on it for a few seconds while tuning out anything but the sound. Mindfulness can be practiced by focusing on breathing.

It doesn’t take long and can be done any time of day and in any place.

As you breathe, focus on the breath that you’re drawing in. Then focus on the breath that you’re exhaling.

Keep your mind centered on the movement of your body as you breathe in the air and release it.

Feel the air move within you and tune in to the sensation as you’re going through the exercise.

You can practice mindfulness through many other activities including walking, eating, while cooking or cleaning, and even while taking a shower.
