How Mindfulness Meditation can help with healthy lifestyle habits around diet & exercise

The skill of mindfulness is all about creating a way of living with greater awareness. With greater awareness of our internal and external environment, we become more present in our everyday lives, spending less time thinking about past events and worrying about the future. So often we sabotage the very things we desire, feeling like we don't deserve to be successful in whatever brings us great connection and satisfaction.

For example, most of us realize the importance of what we eat and how we move, and the huge impact it has on our health and happiness. We know it's important, yet the American Medical Association estimates that less than 23% of Americans are considered to be living a healthy lifestyle.

Where is the disconnect between what we know and what we do?

A wonderful exercise that anyone can do which is scientifically proven to be beneficial is to journal. When we write things down, we tend to connect at a deeper level which can in-turn support action. Try this simple writing meditation. Take a few moments to read the following statement. Then simply copy it down on a piece of paper or in a journal.

What I Deserve - I am aware that I deserve unconditional love and compassion. May I be loving, kind, and compassionate toward myself. May I be happy and joyful. May I be peaceful and free from mental, emotional, and physical suffering. May I live long, and have healthy loving relationships.

Try doing this mindful exercise every day for a week, or two weeks, even a month and notice what happens. You might be surprised with what shifts.
