Learn mindfulness meditation in seconds (NOT HOURS): 10 simple exercises

[@pharaoh6824]

I less than 3 minutes he's already told us everything we need to know about mindfulness. Thank You!

[@AngelaSealana]

I understand why people listen to music and podcasts while they exercise, but I feel really sorry for those who miss being in the present moment with nature because of it. Same thing with being on the phone. I hardly ever see anyone at my complex paying attention to their dog when they walk them... their phone is always taking precedent. Mindfulness can be one of the best things ever! Being human! Yes! 🤗 Thanks, Dr. Ali.

[@drali]

I feel the same way with going for a walk in NYC. When I allow myself the experience of mindfully walking through the city, it's amazing how much is happening around me and inside of me.

[@payalk2898]

3:00 Drawing Name things you see outside the window Taste something with eyes closed Take a walk without listening to music Dance Notice while shower

[@marjoleinvaningen7686]

I practice mindfulness whilst walking my dog. Since my dog is scared of a lot off things, I learned to notice almost everything that happens around me

[@drali]

GREAT example of mindfulness! That's a task that often requires complete focus.

[@itsViirtueYEAH]

Vegan cooking and vegetable gardening! Also a good way to practice mindfulness is during reading. I always notice myself going off on a new train of thought and then having to refocus and 'observe' that I had those thoughts and return to my reading

[@drali]

Great examples! Reading is a HUGE everyday example of mindfulness! Wish I had put that in the video...

[@AllTheFishAreDead]

Really glad you mentioned computer games. I often worry that the flow state is more distraction/diversion/detatchment than mindfulness.

[@miaashly7]

I was doing a lot of these mindfulness tips, without even thinking about it; dancing, eating with more intention, watching a video. I was attempting to relax after work before working on school assignments.

[@drali]

YES!!! That's the thing about mindfulness - many of us do certain activities mindfully and don't even realize it.

[@drali]

How do you practice mindfulness in your life?

[@BlackHayateTheThird]

Well your video made me realize how much I practice mindfulness everyday, and this video brought up an interesting thought. You often talk about letting go of judgements while you do tasks, and I realized that I rarely make judgements, especially while practicing mindfulness. Every morning while I'm waiting for my kettle I take a couple minutes to look out the window and just observe what kind of day it is, what action is going on, the people or sounds. I try to go for nature walks a couple times a week, and I actively try to observe what is there, who is around me. I do adult colouring as a way to unwind/ self-care. I even do more advanced mindfulness techniques like deep meditation, body checks, breathing, etc. Rarely do I make any judgements during any of this- it might be in other areas of my life, but even then I rarely make judgements about myself or those around me (or even judge things), and perhaps that habit of incorporating mindfulness so often in my life helps me be so open and accepting/ less judgemental? Especially helps me accept my chronic (currently undiagnosed) pain and get through each day? In any case, excellent video and I feel like it's helped me to think about why I have incorporated so much mindfulness into my everyday routines. Thank you for the video!

[@alingerf123]

I like to look at shapes and patterns and designs in things like rugs or the composition of rocks or tile in my home and try to make out faces or animals or people. I try to come up with as many characters as possible. The items I default to first are heels, boots and phones. Weird, I know.

[@drali]

Thank you for sharing so much of your experience! It is amazing how much mindfulness you have integrated into your life. I think you are right on here - getting so much practice with being present, experiencing everyday moments (without judgement) has likely helped you to deal with the more difficult aspects of your life (e.g. chronic pain). Mindfulness is a skill and it's one you have developed a lot 😀

[@drali]

Sounds pretty cool to me! That's a judgement, yes I know, AND it still sounds like an interesting way to apply mindfulness.

[@kathleen2382]

Folding clothes. It’s a nice time to slow down, notice a design or detail I’ve never noticed before, notice the texture, notice a small hole etc. I also can experience a deeper gratitude towards my clothing pieces when I take the time to fold them.

[@DrAdnan]

As an artist on the side, I love drawing! The problem is if I start I’ll end up drawing for hours 😅

[@drali]

One exercise for you might be allowing yourself to draw for 5 minutes and then move forward. You'll likely experience many judgments with having an "incomplete" drawing and have an urge to go back to it. The mindfulness challenge for you will be to move forward with what you have to do despite those judgments.

😂😂😂

[@ImCerealSuperDuperCereal]

I wish I had that problem. I play mostly play video games and do not give enough time for the hobbies I want to improve on. It's because video games take no effort and drawing takes a lot out of my focus and mental energy.

[@itsthetinysistersshow327]

Thank you for making these videos! I’m so glad I found them. These are the techniques I’m looking for that I can do at work or during the day!

[@souljagirlc]

I like how some of these activities are what we did as children and in a way this is also so healing for our inner child

[@margaritabailon393]

AWESOME video! Thank you so much!!! I will start to incorporate these mindfulness exercises and be more focused in the present moment.🧘‍♀️

[@Frankierios22]

Simple and straight to the point. I enjoyed this and I’m going to try add these exercises in my everyday life 😊

[@Sleepyer2681]

For me, ironing my clothes!!! I learned to practice mindfulness in the military during boot camp! I would look forward to Ironing my clothes and thought how weird that was. I had earned my Bachelor's in psychology before entering the military and with that minimal background I knew there was more to that behavior than simple ironing. It was only till I started practicing in the mental health field that I learned what the ironing was doing for me! #mindfulness

[@drali]

Great example! I used to experience something similar when I mowed the lawn in the home I grew up in. Now I live in NYC and don't have a lawn to mow and miss the complete focus of that task.

[@dhruvivora9763]

In my case, practicing progressive relaxation for a couple of minutes brings me back to reality and the same goes with exercises for body pains. It brings my mind back to focus with increased attention.

[@drali]

I *love* progressive muscle relaxation! It's especially great for my back, arms, and legs where I hold much of my tension.

[@princesssachikoikeda1050]

You are just an amazing person! I'm not sure how many videos I've watched to help me become a wellness coaching. I would love to have a mentor like you!

[@patreshezz2229]

I absolutely enjoy your videos. I learn more from them, your explanations are so easy to understand, thank you.

[@michellesmith-vz5gk]

Maybe not necessarily mindfulness but narrating what you do is a way to get you out of your head

[@shiahen04]

I practice mindfulness by starting to learn making pottery. It's a most calm thing I ever did in my life, besides cleaning out my mind and kick out the depression, actually making pottery have had help me improve my patience and temper.

[@drali]

Pottery can be a very tactile experience which is always a great entry into mindfulness practice.

[@tatianapouladian7901]

You are AWESOME. Great presentation, fun, engaging and exciting. Thank you for your uplifting energy.

[@bushidoanis1329]

1- sea swimming ( detoxic bad energy ,body training,learns u to know ur body like yoga). 2- Boxing 🥊, it’s mindfulness 3- Dancing

[@thom6746]

So mindfulness is just finding a mental distraction. Good presentation.

[@drali]

Less mental distraction and more mental focus. You're deliberating choosing where to focus your attention and holding it there without judgement.

[@servingpublic737]

Your YT video was a diverse experience since your started criticizing other traditional methods. Liked the video a lot! :)

[@yuup1111]

I use guided meditation on yt for mindfulness it did not make you aware suddenly but after some time you unknowingly observe things in detail but unknowingly yeah that's right But when I do meditation without video I get depressed because of Bombarding of thoughts but it is in process 😊😊😊

[@Mku-JJ1if]

Yesterday I planned a mindful-walk through the park. I turned off my phone, went outside into the sun. Cold wind around my face, brown autumn leafs crunching under my shoes... But I ended my mindfullness-idea when I stepped into dogpoo 😅😜 Nah, skipped a bit of mindfulness there. 😆

[@patlinda88]

I was reading a book on family therapy full of jargons and technical terms and watched this video for a break. Love the way you explained mindfulness! No scanning 😂

[@Nanishilarh]

Thank you so much for this! I've been looking for mindfulness exercises for my clients but kept on coming back to breathing and body-scans, which wasn't what I wanted. Will be trying these with them instead!

[@drali]

This is wonderful to hear! I hope your clients find them helpful!!!

[@valentinechild]

Thank you for sharing these tips!! I love this video and I will definitely use them! I appreciate how applicable they are in everyone's day to day life. I've been actually trying mindful eating for over a year now and been wondering what other simple things I can do mindfully especially if I'm busy.

[@chadteigen6070]

I sing, play guitar, play with a baby. I run and stop in the middle to build in a present moment, as I have often noticed I’ve not remembered most of the run. Music is different when you are playing or singing it, trying to create it. It also changes how you listen to songs if you practice or try to recreate it. Also drawing or sketching is observe-heavy. Beaches with my feet in sand!

[@unleashingpotential-psycho9433]

Love it 👍🏾

[@drali]

Thanks!

[@atiyehmoghadam2296]

Hi thank you for this video I have a question! When we do mindfulness exercises we don't care about our usual thoughts I mean the ones that don't let us be mindful. But the problem is that my mind wants to emphasize on those thoughts and even if I don't care about them and stay mindful for 5 or 10 mins then after that my thoughts become like a flood and I lose my mindfulness again. Am I doing it wrong? What should I do with those thoughts?
