The term mindfulness has gained huge popularity in the past few decades with many people terming it as the new “to do”. It is a modern skill to have. I mean, no pressure but it seems that it is a lot of work. To be mindful.
What mindfulness is in the simplest term?
Mindfulness doesn’t just mean mediating nor does it mean searching for peace, although it will be your result if done right. In simple terms, mindfulness means to be aware of your internal and external happenings, your emotions, feelings and your senses. It is to know what you are feeling and why you are feeling those emotions. Seems so easy to read about it but is difficult to put into use consistently.
Mindfulness can not only boost your mood but also works wonders on your emotional and physical health. Studies have indicated that meditation may boost the production of a hormone called serotonin which makes us feel good.
Time and again we are made aware of the ever so amazing benefits of mindfulness and this article is one such reminder of that.
