Practice Patience
POST #10 of the Beginner’s Guide to Mindfulness Series.
Give yourself more time to be mindful.
Be patient with yourself. Mindfulness is not something you can pick up right away in most cases. If you have ever tried meditating, you know how easy it is for your mind to wander. This same difficulty comes with being more mindful. The most important thing to understand is that it takes practice, just like anything else.
Start slow with the lessons you learned in this series, from picking just one thing to focus on, to just trying to be mindful when you are writing in your journal or while eating a meal. As you do this, you begin being mindful more every day, until it gets to a point where you don’t even have to remind yourself to live in the present – it will just come naturally.
Thank you for joining me in this series!
