Two Simple Ways to Practice Mindfulness in Less Than Five Minutes: Mindfulness on the Go

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF…

• You want to practice Mindfulness more but  can never seem to find the time.
• Sitting still and meditating is not for you, or you can’t seem to make it happen very often.
• You are unsure of how to practice or increase your consistency.
• You are dedicated to learning how to be more present, but not sure what else you can do!

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

In this episode I share two simple practices that can be done on the go. One can be done while driving, using stoplights as your reminder and as an opportunity to practice. The other can be practiced any time you find yourself waiting in line, whether it be at the grocery store, a restaurant or some place like the DMV. 

Mindfulness doesn’t always need to be a long dedicated practice where you for example, sit and do a Mindfulness Meditation for 15 minutes or longer. In fact, taking frequent dips into Mindfulness or being fully present, can have long lasting positive effects on your overall well-being. During these short practices you are taking time to help your nervous system step out of its stress response (fight, flight or freeze mode) and into its parasympathetic nervous system where it can rest, repair and digest as well has giving your stress hormones a break. These frequent micro-breaks into the parasympathetic nervous system will, over time, weaken the neural pathways to our stress response and strengthen the pathways that allow us to be less reactive, more at ease, more focused and so on.
