Podcast Summary
Practice mindfulness anywhere, anytime: You can practice mindfulness and meditation anytime, anywhere, by focusing on the present moment and your senses, without judgment
You can practice mindfulness and meditation anywhere, at any time, even when you're busy. During this guided meditation led by Jay Michelson, we explored how to stay connected to ourselves and the present moment, without needing to stop what we're doing or find a perfect environment. By bringing our attention to what we're seeing, hearing, and feeling, we can practice mindfulness in a non-judgmental and open way, no matter where we are or what we're doing. This approach allows us to stay grounded and focused on what matters, even in the midst of a busy day. So next time you find yourself thinking you don't have time to meditate, remember that you can still be mindful and present, right where you are.
Notice physical sensations for mindfulness: Focusing on physical sensations can calm the mind and bring focus to the present moment, reducing stress and anxiety.
Practicing mindfulness through noticing physical sensations can help calm the mind and bring focus to the present moment. By focusing on what we're seeing, hearing, and feeling in a non-judgmental way, we can break free from distracting thoughts and find a sense of calm. This practice can be done anywhere, at any time, and can be especially helpful when we're feeling stressed or overwhelmed. It may seem counterintuitive to focus on individual sensations when our minds are racing, but doing so can actually help us feel more grounded and centered. So the next time you find yourself feeling anxious or distracted, try taking a moment to notice the physical sensations around you. See what you see, hear what you hear, and feel what you feel. You might be surprised at how calming and refreshing this simple practice can be. And remember, you can find more mindfulness meditations like this one on the 10% Happier app.
