556: 5 Ways to BE in the Present Moment (Mindset & Self-Care)
Manage episode 426912924 series 3012633
Many of us struggle with anxiety, overthinking and stress. In this episode, I discuss 5 ways for cultivating more mindfulness and reducing stress by being in the present moment.
Being happy doesn’t need to be complicated. And we actually don’t need a ton of money, beauty or possessions to feel happy. Happiness can actually be found in simply letting go of our anxiety, overthinking and distractions and really taking in our surroundings - appreciating life and people who support us. But, you’ll need to be intentional about it. Here are 5 ways in which I live in the moment, letting go of distractions and overwhelming thoughts.
Action Plan:
1 - Meditate - Sit quietly for 15 minutes a day to get the mind to stop thinking (make it less or more time depending on your situation). This can change your life if you do it consistently.
2 - Get caught up in the fun parts of life - Do enjoyable activities like skydiving, hiking with friends, amusement parks that fully engage you in the moment and prevent worrying.
3- Call out anxious habits - Through self-awareness, identify habits like shoulder tensing or repetitive thoughts caused by anxiety, and gently remind yourself to "change" the habit in the moment.
4 - Spend time in nature - Sitting outside and observing nature can help us feel the present more intensely.
5 - Mindfulness exercises - Simple practices like noticing 5 things you see, hear, feel can help center your mind on the present. Breathing exercises can help as well.
Get in touch with Megan if there is a specific mindset and self-care topics you'd like her to cover.
