# 1 Way to live a peaceful life!

Practicing mindful meditation

We might want to stop in the middle of our frustration to pay attention to WHY we’re feeling negative emotions. (Not that you should try to get rid of them once you notice they’re there... negative emotions have a purpose and being mindful of them means simply observing them but not judging them). Understanding that the negative emotions are showing up for a reason - and that reason might not be what you thought it was - can be really helpful.

So when we’re practicing awareness, we can look at the entirety of a situation and understand the context, not just our interpretation of the events. Think about WHY we’re feeling frustrated during our super busy day, we might do a full body awareness scan and realize that you completely skipped lunch that day.

Your frustration might not be coming from the fact that you’re busy… it might be coming from the fact that you didn’t get a chance to eat, and that made you resentful of everything on your to-do list. Maybe if you were able to find a solution for your hunger, (keeping a stash of snacks for moments like this, or sacrificing some time to get food knowing that being full will help increase your productivity), and then acknowledge yourself for solving your problem, you’d be able to find peace in that moment.

Knowing that you took care of yourself in that moment can offer a sense of security and solace that you wouldn’t have had if you just continued on with your day, hungry and upset. All because you took the time to pay attention to your body and look deeply into your situation instead of assuming that your emotion was directly tied to your lack of time.

Paying attention to your life, in every second, and watching as your thoughts come and go can help us solve problems in ways we wouldn't have prior to living mindfully. We begin to think in a different way. We begin to live in a different way. And eventually, negative people and situations don't seem as negative anymore.

Mindfulness teaches us how to pay close attention to our experiences without beating ourselves up. It teaches us how to be more compassionate with the people in our lives. It shows us how to love and support ourselves through every situation. It allows us to find the lesson in the pain, the power in our anger, and the benefits of the array of emotions we go through.

Mindfulness is really simple! Once it becomes a habit, your ability to love and support yourself becomes second nature.
