Be mindful about reducing stress
from Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Hector Garcia, Francesc Miralles
How to Apply This
-
As much as possible, be mindful of your thoughts and actions.
Next time you are in a stressful situation, take a step back and focus on what you are feeling and thinking at that moment to be fully conscious of the present. By connecting to “here and now,” we limit overthinking and emotions that spiral out of control. -
Practice meditation or do breathing exercises daily.
Meditation, yoga, body scans, and breathing exercises help filter the outside world and cultivate a calm and focused mind, reducing stress and promoting longevity.
