11 Ways to Integrate Mindfulness into your Everyday

Life!

Mindfulness is our inherent ability to be able to cope up and be constantly aware of the things

around us. It is the capacity of an individual to take control and be attentive enough to deal with

problems, responsibilities, and issues of everyday life.

There are times though that we simply lack the effort to be mindful enough in coping up with the

constant pressure in life. Thus, a lot of us are left behind with no progress and development.

Integrating mindfulness into one’s daily life is quite significant in order to be successful. With it,

you are able to take charge and manage the negative and positive aspects like challenges, fears,

stress, success, and many others.

Everyone should put in mind that being mindful is not only applied in the work place, job

interviews, examinations, training, and other crucial events in life. Integrating the attitude of

mindfulness in our daily lives is very important. Here are 11 ways on how to do it.

1. Loosen up – people get stuck and stagnant both mentally and physically because they are

always consumed by the pressures of work and responsibility. The only way for anyone to be

able to maintain mindfulness in responsibilities is to loosen up. Do not think of the negative

consequences, instead, hope for what’s the best thing out of the worst situation.

2. Always look for change – life is an endless search for satisfaction. Because of this, we all

search for constant change each and every time we are confronted with issues and problems.

Being able to solve these issues entails the ability to be mindful in all the things around us. If

we try to think of solving a problem but later think of it as nothing new and significant, there’s

a good chance we cannot solve them. But with a mindfulness perspective and a hope for

change, one can really be effective and successful since dealing with problems is linked to

thinking of it as something that will provide change in your life.

3. Be stress free – stress is always a part of everyday. But having yourself full of it will

certainly not help. Integrating mindfulness in relation to stress means you have the power be

aware and deal with stress effectively. You will not allow it to defeat your goals and

objectives for that particular day.

4. Integrate fun and play – facing several responsibilities in everyday life sometimes molds us

into very strict, stringent, and dull individuals. All we think every time we wake up each

morning is dealing with all the negative things and surviving them before the day ends. With

this kind of attitude, we’re actually putting ourselves into stagnant mode. It sucks out the

energy in us. The best way to combat this is incorporate playfulness to our responsibilities. By

extracting fun with all the things we do, even if we don’t like doing them that much, we are

beginning to emphasize mindfulness.

5. Be flexible – attentiveness is coupled with the ability to solve problems in a lot of ways. If

you are mindful in all the things around you, are can be knowledgeable enough to resolve

problems that seem to be unsolvable. By being flexible, you are actually bringing the act of

mindfulness because you are very much aware of the various ways of solving an issue. You

do not say, “I’m sorry, I can’t do that because I don’t know to how to.” Instead, you stand

up to the challenge and find all possible means of finding solutions to problems.

6. Love and compassion – love in this instance means the one you give to yourself and to others

as well. Mindfulness is defined as the ability to be aware and heedful of the environment

around us. By being mindful, we tend to effectively cope up with life and deal with it

successfully. And one of the best ways to be mindful of one’s responsibilities is to think of

them as something that needs to be done for the sake of our love to ourselves and others. We

work every day to provide a better future for our children. We work and work effectively in

order to keep the job and secure a good living for our family. That’s love and compassion.

7. Transparency and openness – being transparent means being honest. Being open on the other

hand means being curious. These are two things that come hand in hand when we want to be

mindful of the things that happen in everyday life. By integrating these two things, we do not

think of physical limitations. We can’t stop working and trying simply because our bodies are

tired. We approach a problem by being curious and willing enough to find a solution to it

before the day ends. People who always regard their physical limitations as a hindrance to the

success of the day are the once who are most likely to fail as well.

8. Be unique – being unique and different is an epitome of mindfulness. With these two qualities

in hand, you have the ability to look at a duty or responsibility with a sense of creativity. This

means that you can devise several ways of dealing with them. As a result, you confront

responsibilities with confidence that by the end of the day, you end up doing them in style and

success.

9. Don’t rush things – one of the reasons why we tend to fail when it comes to making our day a

success is because we often judge and decide on things very fast. And the worst part is we tend

to view these things with a pessimistic attitude. For instance, when you are confronted with a

problem or work you haven’t come across before, you will most likely say “I can’t do this”, or

“If I do this, it really won’t change anything.” These things are products of a hurried and

very negative decision making. In order to fight it, you have to think of things slowly but

surely. Absorb everything first and the rest of the solution will follow later.

10. Share your emotions and opinions – being mindful corresponds to openness and willingness

when it comes brainstorming and sharing of thoughts. Success is achieved if you’re on the

winning team. This means that you need to share what you think and feel to others and let

them do the same. You cannot achieve a mindfulness way of thinking if you’re alone.

11. Be practical – finally, one of the most important things one has to put in mind is that

mindfulness and awareness is primarily characterized by practicality and living in truth.

People who keep on failing each day are pretty much occupied of how they want to see the

world around them. In a way, they’re actually creating an imaginary world where everything

is simple, easy, and free of problems and responsibilities. However, that really isn’t the case.

What needs to be done therefore in order to be mindful and aware of one’s responsibilities is to

keep it practical – accept the environment and condition around you and accept what it is.
