UNFOLDING EXPERIENCES MOMENT BY MOMENT
Wheel-Spinning Thoughts! Highly agitated minds going as fast as possible most often occur when we become fearful and/or overwhelmed. We need to know how to function fully without allowing our thoughts and emotions to throw us around! If you are struggling with allowing your mind to be in an Alert, Clear Space, using mindfulness skills may be helpful.
Time changes as we get older, and it seems more complicated to focus. It is the same way with our attention. We can start our day with a fresh full account, but as we pay out small amounts to worries and distractions, we can end up with nothing remaining.
The practice of mindfulness removes distractions and circular self-talk. Mindfulness allows us to remain in the present moment as we intentionally and purposefully improve our ability to regulate emotions, avoid pre-judgment, quiet our mental dissonance, and build self-awareness and confidence needed to reduce inappropriate self-images and negative self-beliefs.
Mindfulness makes meaningful investments in whatever is happening right now. It is intentional and purposeful to determine where to focus attention.
Mindfulness can bring moments of clarity, making us feel more alive and connected. The benefits of becoming more mindful generally fall into three categories: well-being, mental benefits, and therapeutic benefits. Well-being benefits could be having more energy, and therapeutic and mental benefits are usually seen in stress, pain, burnout, fatigue, anxiety, and more… Mental benefits could also include peace of mind and concentration.
Research shows that people who practice mindfulness are generally happier. The goal of mindfulness is to focus on the present in our daily lives.

MINDFUL SELF-CARE - LIVE IN THE MOMENT WITH MINDFULNESS BEAUTY
While mental health is not as commonly discussed or regarded as highly as physical health, it still holds incredible importance today. Achieving a healthy level of mental health is just as crucial as attaining healthy physical health.
Mental health is an individual’s social, emotional, and psychological well-being. Mental illness occurs when a range of negative behaviors, thoughts, and feelings disrupt one's mental stability. While striving for balance and a sense of wholeness is ideal, it is essential to remember that mental health is a vital component of life at every stage, from adolescence to old age.
When you look good, you feel good. Beauty comes from within. Are you feeling less confident in yourself or perhaps in need of some self-positivity? Self-care is important and crucial. It’s easy to neglect yourself when you become so busy that it causes you to feel overwhelmed; even a small break can seem like a luxury.
A helpful tip for recognizing the beauty within yourself is to practice positive daily affirmations. Being confident in who you are, regardless of your size or weight, can be one of the most beautiful qualities you can embody. When you neglect to take time for self-care, you may experience burnout, stress, and a loss of focus!

MINDFUL THOUGHT - CLEAR YOUR ENERGY WITH MINDFUL THINKING
It can be challenging to be mindful of your thoughts, mainly when they are negative. However, focusing on the present moment can enhance mindfulness. Mindful thoughts can help you identify negative thoughts, which may trap you in your feelings. By cultivating mindful thoughts, you can embrace tranquility in the present. Practicing mindfulness allows us to observe our thoughts without judgment. Our thoughts begin to clarify when we remain still and concentrate on the present moment.
If someone shares that they are unhappy, how would you respond? They might discuss the people or life events contributing to their unhappiness. Reflect on what happiness means to you. Your definition of happiness may differ from that of the person beside you. Allowing yourself to experience a vibrant and fulfilling life could be beneficial. You might discover a sense of bliss and genuine fulfillment in doing so. Our brains produce chemicals related to our emotions; when we feel happy, we have “happy chemicals” in our bodies, whereas during periods of depression, we produce “depressed chemicals."
Here’s a helpful tip: strive to be more resilient. Resilience is the ability to cope with and recover from negative life experiences. You can achieve resilience by eliminating negative thoughts and clearing your mind through mindful thinking.
When you genuinely love yourself and feel deeply cared for, you are empowered and provided with the courage and strength to pursue happiness, joy, peace, tranquility, hope, a fulfilling life, and personal growth. Similarly, when we are still and concentrating on the present moment, our thoughts become clearer. Once we become aware of our thoughts, we can begin to challenge them.

MINDFUL MUSCLE - START YOUR JOURNEY TOWARD MINDFULNESS FOR
MIND-BODY-SOUL
Embarking on a journey is often the most challenging task, but you won’t look back once you start. Caring for your muscles encourages mindfulness for your mind, body, and spirit.
Many factors can limit or enhance movement, such as previous tissue damage, strength, stability around the joint, and flexibility. If the muscles surrounding the joint aren’t flexible, it can be hard to move efficiently.
Stretching can be advantageous as it increases blood flow to your brain and alleviates various emotional and physical issues.

MINDFUL SCRIPTURE - PRACTICE MINDFULNESS ONCE A DAY,
KEEPS THE NEGATIVITY AWAY
Let go and breathe. One of the best ways to maintain a peaceful life is to be THANKFUL! We cannot ignore that we live in a world where everything is accessible at our fingertips. Some of us tend to bite off more than we can chew, preventing us from being content and satisfied with what we already have. Practice mindfulness once a day to keep negativity at bay. Thankfulness teaches us to appreciate the present and be grateful for life's big and small things.
STOP comparing your life to others and START learning how to enjoy it!
Living in the moment means trusting in God’s future! Mindful scripture involves paying attention to your actions, feelings, and thoughts. God is a part of our everyday lives; paying attention to Him and learning about scripture is vital to practicing Christian mindfulness. It’s essential to remember that you cannot focus on the present if you’re worried about the future.
Christian mindfulness is present-moment living rooted in a Christ-like worldview. Mindfulness in scripture involves choosing to “set your mind on things above” (Colossians 3:2) and to “renew your mind” (Romans 12:2).

BE MINDFUL - CLEAR YOUR ENERGY WITH MINDFUL THINKING
MINDFULNESS: Embrace a Mindful Mindset through Mindful Thinking! As the mind evolves, so does the brain. You can train your brain to foster positive states of mind with proper practice. As the brain develops, the mind shifts and these transformations can be temporary or long-lasting. A temporary change, for instance, comes from practicing gratitude.
When you practice gratitude, you'll likely experience increased dopamine levels, a neurotransmitter linked to rewards. This practice also helps you feel greater alertness and brightness in your mind. In more lasting ways, the thoughts that pass through your mind shape your brain. Neurons in the brain collaborate based on the information they process, leading to changes in the neural structure. The connections between neurons strengthen and become more sensitive, resulting in the formation of additional receptors. All of this contributes to shaping your brain and influencing your mood.
Stop Trying to Control Your Thoughts. Our minds are in constant motion; however, our thoughts come and go. Once you understand that you can control your thoughts, you can direct your focus toward what you can influence. The overwhelming and uncontrollable content of your mind matters less than how you allow it to affect you. Clear negative energy pathways through mindful thinking and cultivate the art of peaceful living. A practical tip is envisioning your thoughts as clouds drifting across the sky. Allow your thoughts to arise and fade on their own. It’s normal to get swept up in your thoughts occasionally; recognizing this pattern is part of being mindful.
To Help You Recognize, Tolerate, and Cope with Negative Emotions... Consider negative emotions as motivators that guide you toward positive change, enhancing your ability to cope with past, present, and future circumstances.
