As we hear the word mindfulness, most of us think that it is hard and it is something that we have to practice following a specific guideline by sitting in a cross legged position closing our eyes. But in reality it is not true and as complicated as it sounds, it gets a lot easier, but obviously with some practice and consistency. It simply means paying attention to your thoughts, whether it be positive or negative.
We all experience every types of emotions in our everyday lives. Some emotions are positive that brings us happiness and joy and some emotions are negative that makes us sad and unhappy. Positive emotions lifts our spirit, gives us energy, motivates us whereas negative emotions drains our energy making us feel demotivated, unhappy and helpless. As a human being we are greatly bestowed by the gift of imagination. This can be one of the greatest gifts if we use it correctly to think, observe our thoughts and emotions, create new ideas, solve problems, to learn and to grow and it can also be one of the greatest curse if we do not use it correctly by overthinking, causing psychological stress, developing toxic attitude and behaviors leading to unhappy life, diseases and illnesses.
