 These 4 Areas of Mindfulness Psychology Can Help You Live Longer
Many people live in fear everyday of death. It is ironic that they would fear death, but spent all their time so wrapped up in the future they forget to live. Death comes a lot faster to those who dwell on it. Life gets busy, we work day in and day out, and before we know it we are older and knocking on death's door. The problem is that we have very little great memories when we look back on our lives. What if simply learning how to live in the present gave you a longer life span? Mindfulness psychology can teach you the skills needed to live a much fuller life. Death will come slower to those who aren't constantly thinking about it. When your time does come, you will want to look back at your life and be proud of all you accomplished.
Mindfulness psychology is the practice of living in each and every moment. It is opening the mind up to awareness of the things going on right now. Each moment is experienced as it happens and life seems a little more magical and full of wonder. Mindfulness psychology teaches one to become more relaxed and open; slowing down in order to process things as they happen. There are four different areas that are important in order to become a more mindful individual.
The first area in mindfulness psychology is learning calming exercises.
The first and simplest calming exercise is deep breathing. Breathe from the belly, or the diaphragm, instead of the chest. Take a full, deep breath by inhaling and filling the lungs up to capacity. Allow your body to naturally exhale, but concentrate on pushing all the air out of the body until you naturally inhale. This will clear the mind of all its worries and problems and get you back to the basis of mindfulness psychology, the here and now.
The next area of mindfulness psychology is being aware of our thoughts.
The mind is constantly at work with thoughts flowing in a constant stream throughout the day. It is nearly impossible to shut out all the random thoughts all day long. However, we can be aware of the thoughts without giving into them. Simply put, this means we acknowledge the thought but let it pass by offering no solution or answer.
The third area of mindfulness psychology is awareness of emotions.
This area works the same as being aware of thoughts. We are simply aware of the emotions that pass through us each day, but they don't all have to be dealt with. We may feel anger, so we do some deep breathing and allow the emotion to pass on its way.
The final area of mindfulness psychology is about the wandering mind.
The mind will always wander, as the saying goes "it has a mind of its own". Often times, you will be trying to focus on the present but the mind wants to focus on last night's dinner or your mood this morning. This is normal and the fact that you are aware your mind has wandered is actually living in the present. Now, you need to deal with the issue and then move your awareness back to the moment.
Mindfulness psychology is there to help keep the mind open and focused on the present. There are some areas in which mindfulness psychology works within and learning how to deal with these areas will help us live a longer more fulfilled life.
