What is mindfulness? This new catchy word is the new phrase craze!

According to Wikipedia: Mindfulness is the psychological process of purposely bringing one’s attention to experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment.

To live mindful is to be fully present in the moment and reawaken oneself. Mindfulness can help you to become more aware of your emotional and physical condition.

Meditation is one of the best ways to practice mindfulness. Here are some tips to start practicing to help you achieve being mindful.

• Take a Seat: Find a comfortable, quiet area that is calm to sit
• Set a time Limit: Beginners should start at 5 to 10 minutes
• Notice Your Body: If You choose to sit or kneel, make sure you are comfortable and stable in your position
• Feel Your Breath: Follow the sensation of your breath as you breath in and out
• Notice When Your Mind Wanders: It’s normal for your mind to wander. When you notice this focus back on your breathing
• Be Kind To Your Mind: Don’t judge yourself on what your mind goes to. Just stay open

I used to wonder how people would get up at the crack of dawn, workout and then go to work all day? Trust me I tried and found myself wanting to knock out by noon.

Then I decided to really become intentional with my morning workouts and started practicing ways to stay motivated to want to wake up and work out!

Here are 5 ways I stay motivated:

• Get enough sleep the night before (preferably 7 to 8 hours a night)
• Have a clear morning routine
• Plan your workout in advance (incorporate cardio and weights)
• Know your why (what is your why to stay motivated?)
• Don’t overthink it (the more you think about the workout the less chance you will want to do it)

I hope these tips help you to get motivated to wake up and workout!

Tip: Don’t get intimidated by a workout. Start where you are and work your way up to your why.
