mindfulness

A channel for discussing mindfulness (theory & practice) In every moment, we have two choices: be mindful or mindless. Mindfulness is the philosophy of gaining control of our experience and living a more engaged life ✨

Welcome to /mindfulness 😌 I have practiced mindfulness for years; it's been one of the most transformative practices of my life ✨ If you're new, I wrote an intro guide to help you get started: https://wanderloots.com/mindfulness/ The Waking Up App is also great: https://dynamic.wakingup.com/guestpass/SC4914439

It’s amazing how our perception of time is often influenced by our activities. It’s so easy to get sucked into our phones that hours feel like minutes. Adding intentionality to phone usage is a surprisingly difficult, so it was cool to hear @jake’s thoughts. Thanks for sharing @phil “I wrote more about doing a phone fast here but the main takeaways for me were two-fold. First, the day goes by slower. The first day felt a lot slower, but the next two as well. That is a great thing in my book. I would love for life to feel like it is going by slower. If you can make your perception of time slower, you can basically live longer.”

For me, writing is an incredible mindful experience. It forces me to slow down, to pay attention to my thoughts, and to do the hard part: translate them into /words The transformation of the chaos of thought into the clarity of words improves with intention & reflection ie with /mindfulness 🧠 ✍️ 📝

Reflections are underrated ✨ How can we determine the path forward, if we never look back at how far we’ve come? I love this time of year, as it helps me put my life into perspective, furthering my plans for next year

Remember to breathe 😌 It’s easy to get caught up in everything over the holidays, but taking time to regulate and be present will help maintain memories in the long run ✨

A reminder to breathe ✨ With much of our days involving screens, we’ve seen a rise in “screen apnea” - failure to breathe while looking at screens We get sucked into the digital realm, leaving our regulated bodies behind as we become immersed in our screens By regularly checking in with ourselves, especially during screen use, we can begin to train our bodies to breathe more naturally, despite the distraction of screens

How often are you still, truly still? With modern efficiency & toxic productivity cultures aligning with the distracted age of social media, most people go days or weeks without a moment of calm & stillness. Taking even a few moments to do nothing & be still can break the streak of distraction, waking you up to reality 😌

Are you aware of the phase of the moon? Tracking the moon is a great way to keep days from blending together, as the phase changes slightly each day 😌 (2 days until the full moon)

95% of people think they are “self aware” 10-15% actually are 👀 Awareness is underrated because we all think we have it, when in reality, most people spend much of their days in distracted states, unaware of their own experience in each moment Remember to take time to breathe & become aware of your self ✨

Moments of mindfulness, stillness & awareness can lead to much more in life, as compared to constant action
