🟣Who is Diana?

Hey! My name is Diana Morales, I'm gonna tell you how mindfulness has become part of my life;) 

Mindfulness is part of my life because with it I have learned to be in the present, enjoy the moment and pay attention to what I am experiencing. It has also helped me eliminate negative thoughts, bad attitudes, and control my worries about the future. Mindfulness is the ability I have to be aware of where I am, pay more attention to my own thoughts and feelings, and the world around me; these practices have improved my mental well-being and not be overwhelmed by what happens around me. Mindfulness has also helped me to understand and learn more about myself, and what I am capable of, reconnect my body, mind and the sensations I feel. 

Another important point of mindfulness in my life is that I have learned values, I appreciate nature, I create plans and strategies to achieve my goals, I take care of the people I love, I think positively, I see the good side of every bad situation that happened and enjoy what and who I have. I believe that if we practice mindfulness, everything in our lives would have a positive change and we would see our world in a better way. 

Personally, I consider myself as a very stressed person who cries about everything. Mindfulness has helped me to calm down and breathe deeply, not to be anxious or very worried. There are many mindfulness practices, such as yoga, trying new things or other exercises, but what works for me is being alone for a moment and encouraging myself. For example, when I feel sad or stressed, I tell to myself: "Come on Diana, you can with this, you are strong and brave. You are just beginning your life and you should enjoy it. Everything will pass and everything will be fine. Now that you are alone, cry as much as you want, but after that, you have to continue." We all have different ways of continuing with our lives, we have all had bad times, each one has his/her own systems support, someone to help you and advise you. I consider myself as my most important systems support. Remember... nobody is like you and that is your power.

🔵Who is Jasson?

Hello people, my name is Jasson, let's see a little about myself!

Values help us to proceed according to what we consider correct or incorrect for ourselves. In other words, when we act guided by values, we do so without expecting anything in return. I have had more relationships with my friends and my family since I practiced empathy a lot, I learned in Be Mindful what I had never seen anywhere else, I feel that we all put the values into practice and activate our mentality, only in this way can we overcome all the challenges we face and being able to achieve the success that life has for each of us. Being aware has taught me to take more care of my planet and the people I love, create my plans for the future and learn more about myself.

🟡Who is Whendolyn?

Hello friends, I'm Whendolyn. Get to know me a little

I consider myself a constant person and, on many occasions, a bit sensitive and shy, the truth is that I have always struggled to meet my goals, although many obstacles have been presented to me, even so I always strive to achieve what I set out to do from the At the beginning, for example, this year I decided to turn in all my assignments to graduate and so it will be. I also decided to study more English since my level of English is not so good and now every day I am learning and revising new words to be able to speak English more fluently.

I also consider myself a person with good self-control before I could not control my laughter and my thoughts were very sincere, but in this quarantine, I learned to control my behaviors and feelings. Self-control is something that not many of us have, but I learned to have it, as I said at the beginning, I always achieve what I set out to do.

🟢Who is Alejandro?

Hey there! I’m Alejandro Hernandez. Know about me.

Mindfulness has become part of my life because I can see problems with a better mindset, have self-control, how to recognize and manage my emotions, have more connection with my friends and my family, it helped me to take care of myself to respect me and respect others. With mindfulness I learned the value of be supportive to others, have empathy and have good friendships because I think the most important thing is to be good and respectful with others to be respected. I have some goals and to get them I have to have some skills like perseverance, responsibility, self-discipline, kindness, resiliency and positive attitude. It also helped me to have a greater importance of the planet and nature because now I take more care for nature and I know how humans destroyed the environment but we have the responsibility and the power to save the environment from further damage.

Self Care

Your body is the place where you will live the rest of your life: take care of your health. Set goals to improve your eating habits, physical exercise, sleep and rest, etc. Introduce into your daily routine moments for self-care and healthy habits, this is another practice of mindfulness, you are taking care of yourself to feel good and beautiful, sometimes we consider ourselves ugly and silly people and it is because we do not love each other and we do not know how to appreciate what we really are. Also get into the habit of reading, listening, painting or drawing if that is what you like; This is taking care of your peace of mind and distracting yourself a bit from all your worries.

What is Mindfulness?😊

Mindfulness is to be aware of our actions, emotions, feelings, experiences and how to manage them, is have a better mindset to see problems or what we have to do to improve ourselves. With mindfulness we can see inside us what we do, for example: how we react to different situations, how is our behavior in front of others, how are our emotions and feelings. We are also aware of our physical and mental health. Physical health because we know if we have well-being of the body through what we eat, if we exercise, sleep well, etc. Mental health because we can know if we have positive thoughts, know and control our emotions and feelings. Also mindfulness helps us to be aware of how we relate with others, of our values and how we apply them with our family and friends, what are the connection we have with others, how to improve our friendships.

How to Be mindful?✨

Be mindful is being an open-minded and aware person, however, we know that mindfulness is the energy that helps us recognize the conditions of happiness that are already present in our lives. We do not have to wait ten years to experience this happiness, it is present in every moment of our daily life, but we don't recognize it. That is why mindfulness is a source of happiness and joy. Mindfulness for me is a natural quality that we all have and it is available to us at all times if we take the time to appreciate it, when we practice mindfulness we are practicing the art of creating space for ourselves, to think, to breathe and space between us and our reactions. Most of us are very forgetful, for example, this happens because we are not there most of the time, our mind is caught in worries, fears, anger and our regrets, this happens because we are in the past and not in the present. The opposite of forgetting is mindfulness. When your mind is there, you are established in the present moment, then you can recognize the many conditions of happiness that are in you and around you, happiness comes naturally.

Why should we practice mindfulness?🍃

The basic objective of mindfulness is to provide us with a way to learn to manage our emotions, reactions, attitudes and thoughts by practicing and refining our mindfulness to face difficult situations that arise in our lives. Through the development of mindfulness, we develop positive attitudes, controlling our freedom, self-knowledge and acceptance.

Benefits that Mindfulness can bring us:

1) It helps to control stress and anxiety that we have.

2) If we have problems with insomnia or fatigue, mindfulness can help.

3) It helps us develop our emotional intelligence; Mindfulness helps us to know and accept ourselves as we are.

4) Mindfulness helps you connect with nature and your loved ones.

5) When you practice Mindfulness, you learn to value the little details in life.

Surrounding environment🌼

The current pace of life often leads us to go from one place to another without paying attention to what is happening, being in our "world of ideas". It’s necessary to Stop. Get in the habit of getting out of your mind and looking around you, calmly.

Take your time, try to find a moment for yourself in the morning, a moment of enjoyment to start the day calmly. Nothing about rushing and thinking about everything you have to do, start slowly, enjoying the first moments of the day. Get up early, set the alarm clock half an hour earlier than usual to calmly start each day, enjoy your shower and breakfast. When you have time, go out, go to a forest or a place where you find peace. But remember to go out, they are not only experiences of pleasure in which personal ties and relationship with nature are strengthened. They also become opportunities to overcome real difficulties and to feel the company of ourselves.

Our environment greatly influences our way of being, enjoying, our habits, achieving what we propose, etc. From the neighborhood we live in, our neighbors, our family, friends, co-workers and the weather influence us in an unconscious way. Being good with these people and the environment in which we live is a way of practicing mindfulness, because we feel good, at peace and without worries about what will happen tomorrow.

Mental well-being🧠

One of the main benefits of Mindfulness is the psychological evaluation that allows us to control our emotions, improve positive emotional states, prevent us from falling into negative emotional states and, therefore, be happier. Mindfulness consists of paying attention to our emotions, thoughts and sensations to promote our growth and personal and social and mental well-being.

The moment we are at peace with ourselves, we have confidence in what we do without giving up, being happy for the health we have, for the things that we are passionate about such as studying, having a job, even having our family in good health.

If we feel good, our body and mind will be fine, we have to avoid stress or anxiety as much as we can (topics that are discussed in another post) and learn to enjoy a positive mind, positive things lead us to success.

Emotions and feelings in stressful situations💆🏻‍♀️

When we have a stressful situation in our life, we have to know what to do, because we have the power to control everything we do, we can learn about our emotions in these situations because we already know what our behavior is. We have to face these situations with different solutions and strategies. With mindfulness, we can learn self-control, which is an ability to manage impulses, emotions, and behaviors to achieve our goals. Self-control is a tool of life, it helps you to be a better person (not live stressed) because you learn to be organized, stay on time and enjoy more what you do.

Bad feelings (depression, anxiety and stress)😔

Depression is an emotion that we have all felt, but many of us cannot control it and there are many cases in which depression greatly affects our appetite and we do not even want to eat and this causes serious stomach diseases, however, there are many ways to overcome it. You can exercise at least 15 to 30 minutes to clear our minds, even for a while. However, anxieties and stress have always been present in us, but perhaps they have affected us more in this quarantine, due to the pandemic we are experiencing, we cannot go out, enjoy with our friends or even with some relatives, distancing Social is important and we can no longer hug anyone, this makes us feel much more stressed and anxious, we no longer have freedom. However, being locked up can also help us see life from another perspective, we have more time to exercise, meditate, do yoga, connect with other people and learn to adapt, although at first it can be stressful, you can overcome it.

How empowering yourself helps you achieve your goals💪🏻

The power to build our lives in our own way is what will allow us to go far and feel proud of ourselves, but for this it’s necessary to have good self-esteem, a resource that is not always in the best conditions. Ask yourself, am I pretty? What are my strengths and weaknesses? What do I have to improve about myself? It's hard to answer these questions, right? And that's because loving and judging ourselves is the hardest task in life.

Empowerment is wanting to improve, show confidence and show yourself in your best version, the one that we all have and that we don’t always show to others. To be an empowered person, you must start by knowing who we really are and what our goals are. Usually we get stuck thinking: now what? But it’s necessary to get ahead on our own and start doing what we want from the beginning, because life's achievements are not gifted to us, we have to work hard and sometimes cry, but always get up.

With your self-esteem high and knowing yourself, you are ready to walk the path of empowerment. You just need not to forget your dreams, your goals and not let the inconveniences take away the strength to continue. Push negative influences like toxic people out of your way and look ahead with the assurance that you deserve to be happy.

What is the importance of nature?🌵

It is important to take care of our planet because without it we could not live, our planet provides us with water, oxygen and food, natural resources are obtained from the environment and many times we endanger it, but we can use them correctly so that they do not run out quickly, a example is not to waste water 💧 so that our future generations also have this resource. Everything is achieved with the attitude of the people, "TOGETHER WE CAN TAKE CARE AND SAVE OUR PLANET."

Empathy

I think that by not being able to empathize with people, we don’t want to accept them in society and we discriminate them because we have prejudices against them. Empathizing is important because not everyone has the same mindset as everyone else. When you discriminate people, they can react in different ways and it can affect their feelings, even the way they are, because they think they don't fit.
