Mindfulness

So I came across the mindfulness quite accidentally. I wouldn't consider myself as a spiritual person throughout the years, and the time that I did practice yoga was more on the healthy physical perspective and not the spiritual side.

When my hardship happened, I felt I lost my grip on life, I love my compass, my sense of direction, I didn't know who to trust, what is write and what is wrong, who should I trust and what should my instincts guide me to do. I felt very lost, alone, vulnerable and confused.

I missed a sense of direction and something that will add meaning and focus to my life. I needed to be more confident and stronger and to strength my family as soon as possible.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm a doer, so I hardly took the time to think about the process and what I should go through and focused more on the results.

I met an external tutor whom I became friends with, and shared with him some parts of my hardship, he advised me on a book that helped him throughout his hardship and guided me toward trying mindfulness, as a course and understanding the concept of it.

I read the book "when hardship.... and did a short 4 sessions introduction to mindfulness and I felt very engaged. I felt that this is what I was missing in my life, the meaning, the focus, concentrating on the moment, be thankful, appreciate the moment.

So I started practising, since February this year. gradually for a few weeks, until I felt comfortable on having a 10 minutes guided meditation every morning, I feel very connected to it, it became an unmissable part of my mornings and most of the time after having a meditation I feel stronger and vigorous.

I feel it helps me focus better, concentrate better. I gain a new perspective on life, on myself, on my surroundings.
