Contributor, Dr. Anubha Walia, shares how & why we should be in present moment.

Life after 50 could have overwhelming complications, concerns, worries or distractions. As we approach “50,” we are usually in a balancing state i.e., balancing our careers, social circumstances and most importantly being healthy and fit. We should be “aging gracefully,” rather than thinking this really isn’t our style.

Are You Constantly Thinking:-

Awareness arises through paying attention, on purpose and remaining in the present is Mindfulness. It is about practicing how to be fully present and engaged in the moment. Our basic human abilities of thoughts and feelings without distraction or judgment are utilized for self-realization and wisdom. We engage with life, get connected with loved ones, start listening with kindness and stay open-minded.

The cornerstone of mindfulness is through meditation which brings the ability to be in the present, no matter what is going on around us. Enhanced focus, a calm outlook and patient approach are just some of the many positive outcomes. It’s why we sit to practice and learn how to better express and show up in life, for ourselves and for others. Our mission is to spread mindfulness and create a kind, more caring & compassionate world, bring joy, smiles, and a touch of wonder to our everyday lives.

Formal way of training your mind is through Mindful meditation.  With our focus on a single task and creating awareness related to the present moment. Meditation helps you become more mindful.
