Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to Anxiety
Meet Discipline. If you're feeling constantly overwhelmed by life, like
your mind is a runaway train with no breaks, then
buckle up, because today we're diving head first into mindfulness. Now,
before you roll your eyes and think, oh, another podcast

(00:23):
about meditating under a waterfall, hear me out. Mindfulness isn't
just for zen masters or people who live in yoga pants.
It's a practical tool anyone can use to chill out,
focus better, and basically feel more in control of their lives.
And trust me, in this crazy world we live in,

(00:45):
that's a superpower worth having. So what exactly is mindfulness?
Think of it as training your brain to be present
in the moment, not dwelling on the past, not worrying
about the future, but just paying attention to what's happening
right now, your breath, your surroundings, even those annoying thoughts

(01:07):
buzzing around in your head. It's like hitting the pause
button on life and taking a deep breath. Now. I
know what you're thinking, easier said than done, right, But
trust me, it's easier than you think. And we're going
to break it down into five simple steps that even
the most distracted among us can follow. One. Start small.

(01:30):
Don't try to become a meditation guru overnight. Begin with
just five minutes a day. Seriously, set a timer and
focus on your breath. Notice the rise and fall of
your chest, the coolness of the air as you inhale,
the warmth as you exhale. That's it. It's like a
mini vacation for your mind. Two Body scan. Ever, get

(01:54):
so stressed you forget what your body feels like. Try this.
Close your eyes and slowly scan your body from head
to toe. Notice any sensations tingling, pressure, warmth, or even
just a feeling of your clothes against your skin. This
helps ground you in the present moment and reduces tension.

(02:16):
Three mindful breathing. This is a classic for a reason.
Whenever you feel anxiety creeping in, take a few deep
breaths inhale slowly through your nose. Hold it for account
of four and exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this
several times. It's like hitting the reset button on your

(02:39):
nervous system. Four. Engage your senses mast we Instead of
scrolling mindlessly through social media, pay attention to your senses.
What do you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch right now?
Really savor those experiences. It's a simls to bring yourself

(03:01):
back to the present moment and appreciate the little things.
Five Mindful walking. You don't have to be on a
mountaintop to practice mindfulness. The next time you walk, pay
attention to your feet hitting the ground, the feeling of
the air on your skin, and the sights and sounds
around you. It's like turning your everyday routine into a

(03:25):
mini meditation. Okay, so how do these tips actually work?
In real life? Picture this, You're stuck in traffic, late
for an important meeting, and your mind is racing with
anxieties about what will happen if you're late. Instead of
letting those thoughts spiral out of control, take a few

(03:45):
deep breaths. Focus on the sensations of your hands gripping
the steering wheel, the hum of the engine, and the
smell of the air freshener. Even if it's artificial. You
might even notice the birds chirping outside, or a funny
billboard that makes you smile. By bringing your attention to
the present moment, you can calm your nervous system and

(04:08):
reduce those feelings of stress and overwhelm. See, mindfulness isn't
about achieving some unattainable state of bliss. It's about being
more aware and present in our everyday lives. It takes practice,
but trust me, the benefits are worth it. You'll feel calmer,

(04:29):
less reactive, and more capable of handling life's challenges with
grace and ease. So there you have it, a simple
road map to mindfulness for beginners. Remember start small, be
patient with yourself, and celebrate those little victories along the way.
