4.Simplified and Results-driven Habits For a Better Life

 When living in the mode of autopilot, we often ignore the small and exciting things

happening around us. If your life is all about fulfilling our tasks, daily chores, and

following the same boring routine every day, it is time to change that. Not only does it

deprive you of feeling the sensation of excitement and striving for better, but it affects

your mental health as well.

 Being in the Present and Your Mental Health

There have been researches that proved that being in the present not only makes your

life better, but it also helps in dealing with the issues like stress, anxiety, depression,

and overall makes you mentally well. Mindfulness makes you mentally active, you

observe things happening around you, step out of your daily boring routine and get

ready for new adventures as well. When you are completely present, you can tell how

and when your mental health is being disturbed and how to deal with it right away.

Also when you mindfully present, you perform your tasks more efficiently, create new

ideas, be better at implementing new things, and much more. When you feel good

about the things you do on a daily basis, it enhances the quality of your mental health.

How to be Present in the Moment?

 If you are having issues in regulating your emotions, taking care of your mental health,

dealing with issues like depression, taking care of small tasks, and being happy, then

you need to start focusing on living in the moment. Here are some of the things that you

can do to start making changes:

1. Mindful Eating

Mostly, we give the least attention to our mealtime. It is time to change that as this small

change can let you experience mindfulness. Observe the small details in your meals,

know what you are eating, how does it taste, and how does it feel when it goes down

your throat.

2. Adopt New Habit

We often lose the touch of excitement when we have nothing new to do. Living the

same routine every day can easily push you to autopilot mode. The trick to change that

is to adopt a small habit and stick to it. Try to practice that habit every even for a few

minutes and fully involve yourself in it.

 3. Meditation

Do you want to live in the moment? Meditation is the best way to go. Just a few minutes

of meditation and you will see the change. During meditation, you leave all your worries,

 thoughts about your chores, and focus on yourself only. It is the best time to focus on

your emotions and feelings.

4. Cut Down your Phone Usage

Unless your work depends on it, you can easily cut down the smartphone and social

media usage from your life. When on autopilot, you also scroll through your phone

mindlessly for the most of your day. Try to avoid that and only use your phone when it is

required.

 Being in the present improves the overall quality of your life including your mental

health. It is time to practice these small things and see the change in your life. It is time

to come back to the present.
