The Benefits of Mindful Living

 

Mindfulness has become a buzzword in recent years. Mindful living is a practice that involves being fully aware of the present moment and turning your attention to the current experience.

The benefits of mindful living are endless. It can help you eat better, sleep better, and feel more connected to yourself and others. Mindful living also teaches you how to be more accepting of things that are out of your control.

Other benefits of mindful living are:

  • A more balanced life
  • More self-compassion and less self-criticism
  • Higher levels of creativity, focus, and productivity
  • A sense of connection with others and the world around you
  • Improved moods and overall well-being

For many people, mindful living is not natural. They tend to live on autopilot. The problem with this is that autopilot mode often amps you up.

In this post, I write about the connection between hating your body and emotional eating.

Many people go through life body shaming themselves because they are a few pounds or several pounds heavier than they would like to be or they are not where they were ten years ago.

Of course, hearing their own voice saying negative things about themselves in their head many times a day will make them feel miserable and they might even feel like a failure.  A common way people deal with difficult emotions and negative self-image is ironically: (binge) eating. Eating is an inexpensive, quick, easy, and reliable way to temporarily take away the pain and hurt of how we feel.
