LI: To practise mindfulness.
Today, we focused on mindfulness and having a peaceful mental well-being. Sometimes, our mind isn’t concentrating well and is doing something called ‘mind wandering’. We calmed ourselves down by using the Pause, Breathe and Smile method.
Mindfulness is calming your body and your mind, focusing on your mental health, focusing on what’s happening right now, removing the negativity from your mind and being mindful of yourself and others. Mindfulness is a way to balance the 4 pillars of your hauora.
Often in a frustrating situation, our mind enters the red zone. The red zone is when we feel angry, anxious, frustrated, irritable, stressed, overly excited, worried, distracted or any other negative emotion that we usually cannot control. We use a mindfulness technique which helps us to be calm, clear, content, balanced, peaceful, relaxed, curious and engaged in what we are doing.
The mindfulness bell is used to clear our mind of any negativity in your mind. The bell is treated like a Taonga because it is a delicate and traditional piece of peacefulness.
This session of mindfulness helped me stay calm and be understanding of my surroundings. I now know how to have a clear mindset is frustrating situations and it is important to know how to control your emotions.
