How do you go from hating your body to not only accepting it but feeling more alive in it? Is that even a realistic or worthwhile goal? Can you imagine looking at the loose skin on your stomach, stretched from carrying children, or the cellulite on the back of your thighs, or the dark circles under your eyes made worse by nights of worry and thinking that your body is acceptable, even sometimes beautiful and miraculous? Are you just wasting your time even trying?
Breakups are really hard. I showed you why breakups are painful in my latest post which you can find here.In this post I am going to show you how to get past a painful break-up.
Being bombarded with media images of the "ideal" (read thin) body shape, it is hard not to start believing there is only one type of beauty. One of the obvious problems with that is that most of us don't have bodies like the women who grace the covers of magazines. The natural comparisons, however, cause us to feel dissatisfied and down about our bodies and to pursue biologically impossible ideals we can never reach.
Often when we are at work, we dream about the weekend, and on the weekends, we dream about vacation and on vacation, we worry about work.
These constant thoughts about the future rob us of the moment and can contribute to anxiety and depression.
Remaining in the moment enables us to live for today.
Mindfulness is being in the present moment. But what does this mean? it means you are present in your body and aware of what you are doing.
You feel your feet on the floor, your hands in your lap, you notice when you get up and when you sit down. You are present when speaking to another person and not thinking about your response but are fully engaged in what they are saying.
Why is mindfulness helpful? When you are present in the moment, you are fully engaged in life. You begin to train your brain to observe your thoughts and feelings from a distance without judging them to be good or bad. Mindfulness means living in the moment and actually experiencing life as it happens.
When you are truly mindful with others, they feel it. They know you are listening and engaged in what they are saying. This makes relationships more meaningful and more enjoyable.
Staying mindful takes practice. You can set reminders on your phone and each time a reminder goes off, come back to the moment, feel your feet on the ground, look around you and take in your surroundings, make sure you are being present with others.
If you find you are getting anxious about something and your mind is going and won’t stop, ground yourself by taking a few deep breaths and get back into the moment.
Have fun and play with mindfulness. You will be surprised at how you can reduce your stress, anxiety and even depression by simply ‘getting in the moment’. You can read more about the benefits of mindfulness in this article
