Mental Health Problem - Mindfulness

Are you Mindful or mindfull ? - Abiramika

Where is your awareness during this time? What happens?

Creating awareness of mindfulness

Bringing in a lot of attention on what you do. What are some other thoughts coming up? If any that preoccupation, which takes our focus from one thing are hinderances to mindfulness.

Only thing we don’t get back is time – need to be careful on how we spend it.

Thoughts – words – actions – habits – character – destiny 

How much of iceberg do you see? 10%  - result, action, behavior, what we do not see – 90% - values, attitudes, thinking, feeling, belief, motives, judgements

Use nose to smell three different things, listen to 4 different voice, look for 5 new things around. Touch and identify 4 things around. 

Monkey mind is given instruction to concentrate. 

It’s being aware of our thoughts.. Be in the present.

Two way to do:

Formal – concentrate on breathing. 

Informal – Mindful eating, walking, breathing, listening, breaks, appreciation, focus.
