Mindfulness <\/strong>is a popular word now. You hear it so often, that it may be embarrassing to admit that you do not quite understand what it means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is your ability or a skill to be present in your life and to live it as if it really matters during the only moment that you truly have \u2013 Here and Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who isn\u2019t familiar with a \u201clife on autopilot\u201d? Life when you don\u2019t notice the taste of your food, snowflakes on your mitten, a fleeting scent of freshly bakes pastries from a bakery. When you are too busy to understand your desires, to feel the softness of your cashmere sweater, the joy of having a conversation with a close friend. Run, run, run\u2026 No pauses, no breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, we spend most of our lives rushing \u2013 either absorbed in the past, in our memories, regrets, and ruminations on the topic \u201cI should have responded like that\u201d or in the future, in our plans, hopes, and fantasies. But neither past nor future exists \u2013 already or not yet. We only have the present moment, this very moment when you are, for example, sitting and reading this article in the Mindspa app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we find the switch for mindfulness inside of us, we \u201ccatch\u201d the state when we can notice our current feelings, focusing on the present moment and not being distracted by the thoughts about the past or the future. And this is what allows us to live and not \u201crun\u201d through our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness does not guarantee that going forward we will only experience pleasant moments. No, we will feel everything more intensely, but this makes us richer and allows us to recognize the strategies and beliefs that we are using, identify unconscious psychological reactions, and plan our actions more efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are whole treatises about how to develop mindfulness. But you should begin with these simple steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
