MINDFULNESS SKILLS

THE NATURE OF MINDFULNESS

The nature of mindfulness is conscious, deliberate, empowering, and present. It is a process of unfolding in organic ways that help us feel more deeply authentic. In order to understand the function of practicing mindfulness we have to differentiate what mindfulness is and what it is not.​​​ Some equate mindfulness with awareness. However, there is a difference, In a state of mindfulness, we learn to recognize and acknowledge what's going on in the mind, moment by moment, without judgment and can allow ourselves to let go. In a state of awareness, we utilize thoughts, emotions and sensations as a source of information to help us navigate through circumstance or experiences more mindfully.
WHAT MINDFULNESS IS
1. Becoming more aware
2. Being intentional
3. Participating fully
4. Staying present in each moment
​WHAT MINDFULNESS IS NOT
1. Meditation (but helps us to be more mindful)
2. Escape from reality
3. "Getting it all together"
4. Being passive or non-emotional
​Now that we know what mindfulness is and what it is not, we can break the skills down into two sections, "What" skills and “How” skills. ​
What are the Mindfulness Skills and How do we use them in healthy and more effective ways?
MINDFULNESS WHAT SKILLS                   
1. Observe                         
2. Describe             
3. Participate          

"What" skills teach how to practice and apply mindfulness skills.
Observing is simply noticing without putting any words to it. Describing is putting words on the experience. Participation is being totally present and fully alive in the experience. This includes also noticing when there may be resistance, avoidance, or protections to your ability to participate or lack thereof.
MINDFULNESS HOW SKILLS
1. Non-judgmentally  
2. One-Mindfully  
3. Effectiveness 

"How" skills help us become aware of what might be blocking us from being more mindful and helps us discern how effective we are in navigating experiences in healthier more intentional ways.
Non-judgement allows the experience to be as it is. We learn to practice staying neutral, lessening the experience of inner-conflict. One-mindfully is being fully present to the moment, not lost in the past or thinking about the future. It's doing one thing at a time, with full awareness, rather than splitting your attention between things. Learning how to be effective in our approach to our lives means doing what works for you rather than thinking in black and white terms, i.e., right/wrong, good/bad, positive/negative
Learning the "what" and "how" to mindfulness is an essential foundational life tool and with continued practice, can change your life.  
Love,
Jennifer
