You can do this while standing, but ideally you’ll be sitting or even lying in a comfortable position. The most basic way to do mindful breathing is simply to focus your attention on your breath, the inhale and exhale. Time required:ġ5 minutes daily for at least a week (though evidence suggests that mindfulness increases the more you practice it). One way is to meditate. A basic method is to focus your attention on your own breathing-a practice simply called “mindful breathing.” After setting aside time to practice mindful breathing, you’ll find it easier to focus attention on your breath in your daily life-an important skill to help you deal with stress, anxiety, and negative emotions, cool yourself down when your temper flares, and sharpen your ability to concentrate. As we deal with our world’s increasing complexity and uncertainty, mindfulness can lead us to effective, resilient, low-cost responses to seemingly intransigent problems.
Both science and experience demonstrate its positive benefits for our health, happiness, work, and relationships. We don’t have to take mindfulness on faith. It brings awareness and caring into everything we do-and it cuts down needless stress. Mindfulness is more than just a practice. Everyone can benefit and it’s easy to learn. Anyone can do it. Mindfulness practice cultivates universal human qualities and does not require anyone to change their beliefs.Mindfulness has the potential to become a transformative social phenomenon. Here’s why:.Mindfulness recognizes and cultivates the best of who we are as human beings. Solutions that ask us to change who we are or become something we’re not have failed us over and over again. But we can cultivate these innate qualities with simple practices that are scientifically demonstrated to benefit ourselves, our loved ones, our friends and neighbors, the people we work with, and the institutions and organizations we take part in We already have the capacity to be present, and it doesn’t require us to change who we are. Mindfulness is not a special added thing we do.
It takes many shapes and goes by many names. It’s familiar to us because it’s what we already do, how we already are.
