Mindfulness
Learning to Improve Your Life
Have you ever had that day where you feel disconnected and pulled too many directions at once? Under those circumstances, it is difficult to concentrate, and you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed.
This article will tackle a subject we have written about before mindfulness. Mindfulness is a critical concept to grasp to enhance your journey down the healing path from dissociative identity disorder.
What is Mindfulness?
One definition of mindfulness is that it is the essential human ability to be fully present and aware of who we are, where we are, and what we are doing. When practicing mindfulness, you are not reactive or overwhelmed by what is happening because you sit with your emotions and thoughts without judgment.
Mindfulness requires that you focus primarily on yourself while you spend time thinking about your thoughts and reactions to the world around you. Being mindful can help you avoid reacting automatically and enhance your cognitive awareness.
Often, mindfulness is used as a tool to enhance one’s mental health. This practice is also helpful with many mental health conditions, lessening anxiety, depression, and stress reactions, and has helped people with addictions.
