In a society where
hyper-connectedness is the norm, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the
avalanche of information streaming into our computers and mobile devices.
As convenient as it may be to have the world at our fingertips 24/7, the
reality of living in a tech-driven society is the increasing inability of
adults and teens to unplug, unwind and live a mindful existence.
“Through mindful living, we can
create balance in our lives; even in a tech-centric world.” says Anita
Ahn, Director of the EarthMind Wellness Center at Honor’s Haven Resort &
Spa.
Here are Anita’s top three tips on
how to live a mindful existence
Mindful Eating – By intentionally chewing more than 30 times, your mind
naturally focuses on eating 100%; opening up a subtle awareness of our often
unconscious eating habits. As a result, you can really reconnect with
your body and recognize whether the food you are ingesting is really what your
body needs.
Mindful Walking – Like many other relaxation techniques, mindful walking
focuses on keeping you present in the moment. By being conscious of your
stride, the feeling of the ground beneath your feet and the flexing of each
muscle as you step forward, you develop a greater awareness of your body and
its environment.
Mindful Smiling – A form of facial yoga, mindful smiling teaches you to relax
both your facial muscles and your mind, by increasing your awareness of each
breath inhaled and exhaled; inducing feelings of inner peace and tranquility.
