    Mindfulness guides you to experiencing the present moment.

    Imagine only having moments to live. How do you spend this precious time? Perhaps you stop to feel the breeze on your face for the last time, or savor every bite of food you’re eating, or appreciate the melody of sounds coming through your window.

    When you think about it, you really do only have moments to live. Because that’s all life is: one moment after another and another and another. 

    To make the most of life, make the most of each moment. Mindfulness can show you how.

    The key message is: Mindfulness guides you to experiencing the present moment.

    You might ask: Is experiencing the present moment something I need to learn? Don’t I already experience it simply by existing in it?

    Well, try it now. Try to focus solely on this moment.

    How long does it take before a thought snatches you out of the present? If you’re like most people, it doesn’t take long at all. Even though our bodies are in the present, our minds habitually wander into the future or the past. And that’s not a good thing. In fact, a 2012 Harvard study found that we feel calmer, more stable, and happier when our minds are focused on the present instead of the future or the past.

    That’s where mindfulness comes in. It’s a meditation technique focused on anchoring mental attention and physical sensation in the present moment. Practicing mindfulness allows us to still our wandering thoughts and to experience the full texture of the present. What’s more, it brings us into deeper communication with our bodies, teaching us to recognize and deal with early warning signs of depression, stress, and anger. 

    Here’s a simple mindfulness exercise to try out. Take three raisins. Observe the first raisin closely. What does it look like? How does it smell? How does it feel between your fingers? Then put the raisin in your mouth and begin to chew: How does it taste? How does it feel on your tongue and in your teeth? 

    Repeat the process with the next two raisins. Each time, try to deepen your focus on the process of eating the raisin. And with that deeper focus, you might find that the sensory experience of eating the raisin intensifies each time.  

    Slowing down to fully attend to even the most seemingly mundane experiences – like eating a raisin – is the first step on a path to a mindful life.

    Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

    Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

    Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

    Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.
