Often it does both all the time... The question is how can we make our brains STOP and think about only the present - the state we are in when we are in when we are 'in the zone' or 'in the moment'. Mindfulness is derived from the east and meditation practice of for thousands of years recognize to help humans control and tame our brains. Research has shown, that among other things, meditation can help depression and anxiety, reduce stress, reduce pain while improving concentration and giving us more energy. Meditation has also been shown to improve relationships, increase creativity, boost immunity and maybe even prolong life. The question is how do you do this? Simple. This three-step approach is all you need. For 15 to 25 miles every day... No.1 Sit up No.2 Close your eyes No. 3 Concentrate on your breathing or repeat a sound or a word and each time you notice that your mind is wandering, bring your thoughts back to your breath or sound or word and if it wanders again just to bring it right back keep doing this until your 15 minutes has passed. I would use a meditation timer app on your phone or any timer. The more you do, the easier it gets. Many people notice they are breathing slow during mindfulness meditation and sometimes respiratory rates reduce dramatically but this often confers benefits on mood and anxiety . Remember, each day will be different , some days will be easier than others. Over time you will notice that your mind wanders less or that you can control it more as you begin to accept that it naturally wanders but that you can bring it back to the thought had much easier. Once this happens you will notice how much more time you have as your brain finds itself enjoying the present - the birds singing, the smell the flowers, and the color of the leaves. You may start noticing subtle smiles and looks from people all around you. Welcome to inner peace. Thank you for watching and Please subscribe now
