Mindfulness in Everyday Life

There is no law that restricts you to practice mindfulness while sitting on the floor or on a chair. You can practice mindfulness in your everyday life by being mindful about what you are doing. Below is a look at how you can apply mindfulness to your daily routine.

Washing the Dishes

Usually, most people will want to take advantage of the process of washing dishes to chat or watch a TV show. However, this alone time can be used to practice mindfulness. How do you do this? Immerse yourself in the process. Don’t take anything for granted that is happening when you're cleaning the dishes. Notice the warm or cold water you are using. Pay attention to the sounds of the pans and other dishes that you are washing. Try your best to be present in the moment. Don’t just wash the dishes for the sake of it. Wash them while taking time to experience everything that is happening around you.

Driving

There are many instances where you may find yourself zoning out when driving. Most people spend their time thinking about what they did during the day. When driving home from work, some folks will use this time to think about what they will be eating for dinner. Practicing mindfulness can help you maintain your focus on the immediate environment around you.

First, if the radio is playing, turn it off. Alternatively, you can choose to play some soothing music that will help you meditate. While maintaining your focus on the wheel, practice breathing exercises as you pay attention to your bodily movements. Practicing this regularly can help prevent your mind from wandering.

Brushing Your Teeth

You can also take advantage of your daily routine of brushing your teeth to practice mindfulness. The main thing that you should pay attention to is your body. Notice how your feet are connected to the floor. Do you feel cold since you are barefoot on the cold tiles? Think about the way you’re holding the toothbrush in your hand and how your arm is moving sideways or up and down to clean your teeth.

Judging from the everyday mindfulness exercises mentioned, it is evident that living mindfully is all about living in the present moment. Sometimes we find ourselves overthinking because we cannot control our minds when they are left to their own devices. Therefore, it is by being present in every moment that you can catch yourself overthinking and stop it.
