Stop and Smell the Roses: The Importance of Mindfulness

Being mindful is defined as taking the time for what is important to one’s self and focusing on being in the present. Often we find ourselves worrying about what’s next: next appointment, next commitment, and so on. This worry can take away from the present and enjoying the time at hand. Studies show that taking time to “stop and smell the roses” can increase overall quality of life, here are some tricks the experts at HDIS suggest we utilize to stay present and mindful:

Meditate Daily

Daily meditation can help keep your mindset present and can even slow your awareness of passing time. Meditation can take many forms: the easiest method is to find a quiet place in your home, find your favorite seated position and then begin to shift your focus to your breathing and how your body moves with your breathing. The goal of meditation is to go beyond the awareness of time and to focus on the present.

Stress Less

Being stressed is often a detriment to our physical and mental health. Studies have shown that when we are distracted by events, obstacles and our growing to-do lists we have the feeling that time is passing by more quickly. By taking the time to prioritize our time and energy, we alleviate what scientists have identified as “time pressure” and focus more positively on meeting our goals.
