Seven Reasons Why Mindfulness Is Key to a Successful Life
 
Mindfulness is a skill anyone can acquire. It helps to reduce stress and improve your overall life. It helps you be more conscious of your actions, thoughts, and emotions in order to make better decisions. In short, mindfulness is key to successfully getting control of your life.
 
Here are seven reasons why.
 
IDEAS FROM ME
 
Focus 
When you’re more mindful about your actions, thoughts, and what you are personally doing, you’re much more likely to complete tasks and get things done effectively and successfully.
 
Emotional Intelligence

An emotionally intelligent person is self-aware enough to regulate their emotions and take healthy actions. As a result, they are motivated, show and feel empathy, and are good with others.
 
Productivity
When you pay close attention to your environment, potential roadblocks, and your own health and needs, you’re much more likely to be productive in all the right ways and not just appear busy.
 
Happiness
Everyone is always chasing happiness, but the truth about happiness is that it’s found in contentment. Mindfulness and being aware of yourself and your surroundings ensure more contentment and happiness.
 
Stress

Mindfulness reduces stress by paying closer attention to reality when you think about what you want from your life – based on who you are inside and your morals, principles, and values. You will naturally find more ways to relax, so you have less stress and anxiety.
 
Clarity

When you think things through and make plans as a mindful person, you will become much clearer about what you need to do and what you want from your life.
 
Prioritization
Along with all of the above, you’ll become better at prioritizing the things you need to do to get what you want out of all areas of your life.
 
To harness the power of mindfulness, the secret is to slow down, get rid of any negativity, and stay in the present moment. Mindfulness is a skill that grows stronger the more you practice it. Avoid being too hard on yourself if you make a few mistakes in the beginning.
 
Mindfulness is key to a successful life because it improves your focus, productivity, and emotional intelligence to make more informed decisions each day of your life.
 
 
QUOTES FROM OTHERS

“Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present: inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness.” - Jon Kabat-Zinn
