  • Exercise makes us feel good, right?
  • we have found that you can manipulate the psychological experiences of exercise by altering environmental factors unrelated to the actual physical exercise someone is doing.
  • Remarkably, we have found that perceived fitness (or your belief about your fitness) is a better predictor of the psychological benefits of exercise

      The thought of brining mindfulness into anything you do is both amusing and insightful. Instead of trying to adhere to a routine of mindfulness, you can find time to be mindful in your daily tasks.
  • and make it an exercise in mindfulness by really focusing on the sound and vibration of each note
  • Mindfulness Exercise #3: Listening to Music Listening to music has many benefits — so many, in fact, that music is being used therapeutically in a new branch of complimentary medicine known as music therapy. That’s part of why listening to music makes a great mindfulness exercise. You can play soothing new-age music, classical music, or another type of slow-tempo music to feel calming effects, and make it an exercise in mindfulness by really focusing on the sound and vibration of each note, the feelings that the music brings up within you, and other sensations that are happening "right now" as you listen. If other thoughts creep into your head, congratulate yourself for noticing, and gently bring your attention back to the current moment and the music you are hearing.

  • Fishing has a pretty good rep as a relaxing pastime, but it actually goes a lot further than that
  • The therapeutic effect derives from the fact that fishing brings together mental relaxation, low-impact exercise and, very often, social camaraderie.

A Meditation With Nature: A Special Way To Bring in the New Year - 0 views

  • This meditation needs to be performed outside where you are physically present with Mother Earth and the Universe that surrounds her.  Find a quiet place outside, where you are away from other people, traffic noises, and alone with the beautiful sounds of nature.
  • Grounding is simply a word that describes the strengthening of your connection with earth.  It is an exercise that should be performed each morning as well as before meditation.  The process of grounding helps you to remain anchored in this dimension as you move through other dimensions in this meditation.
  • To ground yourself, close your eyes, breathe gently and deeply.  Imagine that there is a strong energy that flows up and down your spine, and then down through both legs.  Stay with this energy as it moves up and down your spine and legs – it’s a powerful energy.

shared by David Dunn on 02 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • Mindfulness exercises have been shown to help people stay on course and to better manage difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences.
  • When you are mindful, you are better able to take in information from your environment and choose an appropriate response, rather than reacting based from a history of bad experiences and old habits.

  • the anxiety tends to persist and may even become worse
  • I recently wrote about the things I do to (attain and) maintain mental health, and in an earlier post I wrote about my choice to live intentionally, to live an examined life:
  • It only requires pausing in your day, or even in your week or month, to be aware of your interior and exterior worlds.

  • What am I doing? Is it what I want to be doing? Is there a change I’d like to see? Can I bring it about? What path am I on; is it likely to bring me to where I want to go?

  • I was very interested to see that my intuition about using mindfulness to cope with stress and anxiety was borne out in a small Danish study that was published this past April
  • The women participating in the study had been diagnosed with breast cancer at Stage I, II or III and had undergone surgery
  • In any case, the statistical results are far less important to me than my lived experience: mindfulness exercises and meditation and living an examined life help me to cope better with stress and anxiety, and that is all the proof I need
