We either always worry about tomorrow or regret the past. While shifting gears between these two extremes, our present slips away from our hands. A calm mind helps in focusing on the \u2018now\u2019 and in seizing the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s What You Should Know:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is mindfulness?<\/li>\n<li>How can you practice mindfulness meditation?<\/li>\n<li>Different mindfulness exercises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>1.

It is a technique through which you can acknowledge your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without any sense of judgement or <\/span>negativity. Mindfulness makes you aware of your being and also helps you focus and concentrate better.<\/p>\n<p>It is a way to explore the deepest corners of your mental<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, emotional, and physical being and you can achieve this through <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meditation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead of repressing the thoughts that cross your mind, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meditation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helps you to acknowledge them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/office-meditation-reducing-work-stress-relief-1104907439\"><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57478 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mindfulness-Activ-Living.jpg\" alt=\"Mindfulness - Activ Living\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>2.

It helps in managing depression, <\/span>anxiety, insomnia, stress, and hypertension. You can meditate on your own from the comfort of your home. Take a look at how you can practice mindfulness meditation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Set aside a particular meditation time. It can either be early in the morning or at night to calm your thoughts before sleeping. Just 10 minutes of meditation a day can work wonders.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Get comfortable. Wearing loose clothes helps in easing the whole process and averts any distraction.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Posture is important. Sit cross-legged on the bed or the floor with your head, neck, and back straight. Rest your arms on your knee and touch the thumb to the index finger like a yogic posture and close your eyes.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Focus on your breathing<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Feel your chest rise and fall as you inhale and exhale. This sense of calmness will also help in self-retrospection.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay attention. Be aware of how the wind touches your skin. Let your other senses be heightened and experience the little joys of the world.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/beautiful-mindfulness-young-girl-relaxing-enjoying-1242944677\"><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-63762 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Practice-mindfulness-meditation.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>3.<\/b><b>Different M<\/b><b>indfulness Exercises<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do one thing at a time.
