2 Simple Mindfulness Exercises You Can Do Anytime, Anywhere
Mindfulness is the practice of being in the present moment. It offers its practitioners heaps of benefits, such as relieving stress and boosting overall physical and mental health. Yet, even after understanding what it is, many wonder how they can actually flex their mindfulness muscles.
That’s why we’re introducing you to 2 simple mindfulness exercises you can do anytime, anywhere.
Mindfulness meditation
Just like traditional meditation, this technique relies on you sitting in a comfortable position and allowing your mind to roam free. While doing so:
• Focus on your body sensations. Take mental notes of any itch or tingling and let it pass.
• Notice any sights, sounds, smells, and tastes. Name them and let them go.
• Welcome your emotions without judgment. Accept their presence and name them as accurately as possible.
Each and every sensation or emotion needs to be welcomed inside your train of thought without any judgment or reaction. Once it passes, release it. Go with the flow. You are observing yourself.
Staying in the present
Another more active technique compared to meditation is simply learning how to stay grounded in the present when it comes to your daily routines. Because they’ve become automatic actions for us, day-to-day tasks are done without much thought. Ever caught yourself slipping away into your thoughts while doing the dishes or folding the laundry?
The next time you realize you're doing that, re-ground yourself. Learn how to do these daily activities mindfully. Break down the tasks into smaller parts and then focus on what you’re doing right here, right now.
No matter which practice you decide to go for, always make sure you’re redirecting yourself to the present. After all, that’s the essence of mindfulness.

Have you ever just lied in bed, thinking you were ready to fall asleep on the spot, but end up wide awake staring at the ceiling? Or went to bed at 10 p.m. but didn’t manage to actually fall asleep until 3 a.m.? Us (and 30-45% of the adult population worldwide) too!
The worst part is that you don’t voluntarily do that; it just happens. It’s like your own brain doesn’t want you to fall asleep. And out of frustration, you start searching everywhere for a solution that will help you get a good night’s sleep. It works out sometimes, but other times, its effects only last for about a week. But, do not despair, we may have found the perfect solution: Ayurveda.
We’ve all gotten a cut somewhere on our body before, and we’ve all noticed the red swelling that occurs around that cut area, which naturally fades away after it’s healed.
If you’ve ever noticed that, then congrats! You’re the witness of a marvelous immune response called inflammation; our bodies’ natural fight response to any foreign agent trying to harm them!
Nothing gets us through the long work days like a deliciously warm cup of coffee. But no matter how much we like it, coffee comes with some disadvantages.

So, we’ve decided to compile three easy alternatives that will help support your energy levels and offer you even more benefits than coffee!
