How To Be More Mindful In 2020
Each year brings along its own energies, but it is about making it your own personal mission for transformation. What is it that you will be doing new this year? How do you want to better yourself? There are many ways in which you can achieve these goals.
Mindfulness is one among the many practices that we must adopt in this year 2020. Mindfulness is being awake, aware, and conscious of your every decision, thought, action and speech. Connect and stay rooted in the present moment through the practices of Yoga and spirituality. We need to break out of the prison of habits, and practices that do not serve us any longer and yoga can help us do that. Yoga and spirituality is the training of the mind which can be attained through certain yogic practices. Asanas, pranayama, meditation, and chanting are some of the aspects that can guide us towards living more mindfully in the New Year.
Letting Go
The philosophy of yoga and spirituality teaches us to let go of stressors that are weighing us down. Pessimism, self-doubt, anger, envy, unhappy relationships, difficult obligations, financial worries, arguments, and more.
Any kind of negative attachment whether it is to people, objects, events, memories etc. cause us pain. Mindfulness is the art of paying attention to detail while looking at the horizon, where we learn to appreciate the small things in the awareness that there is a bigger picture we are part of. When we learn to let go of our negative attachments we can transform our lives in a positive way.
Connect With Higher Energies
The supreme universal energy is so powerful that every one of the 7 billion and more people have unique handprints. This is to show that we all are blessed with certain spiritual gifts and talents that make us who we are. We are given the choice of free will to express our individual creative power in any way that we want to.
Mindfulness is about doing so in a manner that honours the divine in us. Gratitude is that silken thread that connects us to this higher power. When you connect with a higher power, you will be able to add divine light to the creative power within you.
Inner Journey
Transformation is a deep process that involves a lot of inner work. Diving into ourselves is a journey of solitude but can be filled with overflowing joy and passion for life. To achieve this state of being, we first need to shed our old skin. This inner journey is interconnected with the task of learning to let go.
As we shed our life's old patterns like false beliefs, traumas, inner blockings, suppressed feelings, and negative situations etc., we will invite new experiences into our lives. Through the inner journey, you can discover the old things that were bogging you down, and move on to better things in your life.
What You Think, You Manifest
The law of creation states that before anything is created in the physical plane, it is first created in the mental plane. This goes to show that the patterns of your thoughts attract the reality of your life.
Metaphysical studies state that our subconscious is not able to differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary. This is the key to unlocking possibilities into our lives, by dreaming, thinking and believing that it could or maybe has even already happened.
Strong With The Body
When we are physically fit, we also gain mental fitness. This is the strength that we need to tackle any obstacles or hurdles in our path. Follow the Surya Namaskar practice every day to gain the energy of the Sun.
