Mindfulness
good afternoon everyone
my name is bobby and it’s a pleasure to
be in front of you all today
the topic i’ll be talking about today is
mindfulness
and its aspects on human behavior as
well as its contribution towards
happiness
and gratitude mindfulness is certainly a
very complicated word
and i’m pretty sure that many of you
have not heard of it before
well to get started i would like to ask
each one of you to get into a position
to remain comfortable
notice the position of your body and
allow
yourself to feel your breath inhale
and exhale allowing your body to remain
in
ease notice how your breath flows freely
from your feet to the entire length of
your body
and to the top of your head naturally
slowly letting go of the built-up
tension
as you start to do this your mind starts
to lose
focus and you gradually start thinking
some of the thoughts that might arise
are
what am i going to have for lunch or
why is he telling me to do this it could
be anything
it will now be obvious that your brain
is withering around
and that’s okay the whole game here
is to notice where you’ve gotten carried
away with your thoughts
and your next motive must be to bring
your thoughts back
and start the entire process over again
this technique of deep breathing allows
us to focus on our present
it allows us to be aware of our emotions
of ourselves and of who we
are let this start the day
with more awareness and appreciation
towards our mind and body
now i can see that many of you are
sitting on
chairs and sofas taking the support
of your back and lower body
if i didn’t mention this would you
notice where you are sitting
how you are sitting and with what
support you are sitting
would you notice that if you did not get
the support of your back
you wouldn’t be feeling that much
comfort now
are you thankful to be able to sit on
the chair and sofa
are you thankful to be able to receive
the support of your back and lower body
[Music]
if i did not ask these questions i can
guarantee you
that they would not have crossed your
mind
have you ever seen people who are
paralyzed
or those with back problems wishing to
feel the comfort we are currently
experiencing right now praying to god
and simply asking god to give us the
ability
to sit comfortably
don’t you all feel that we should be
aware of all the good things we have
we should be we should indeed be
grateful for what we are blessed with
this simple scenario defines
mindfulness in definition
mindfulness is the ability to focus on
the present moment
without any judgment
understanding mindfulness and practicing
it at the same time
has changed the ways i look at things
and has changed me as a person
as a whole it has made me more happy
and cheerful not gonna lie
it really did take a lot of time and
effort
but i want to tell you all today that
it’s not impossible
it’s possible when you believe
when you put your everything into it
as we all know it is very difficult
to look at everything and notice
everything in this very busy world
i personally start the day we’re telling
myself
in the morning good morning
i am mindful in everything i do today
the optimism and positivity these words
give
can actually influence how our day will
actually turn out
it can actually change the perspective
from how we look at things
and influence us as individuals
i would now like to share a story which
might be very relatable to all of you
in my neighborhood i like to see fancy
cars
name it such as bmw mercedes
ferrari any car you get any fancy car
you can think of
and me being a sports car enthusiast
also wish to have one of these cars
and drive them if possible in the future
i thought to myself why didn’t god
give me such an amazing car
there was another time also where
i got jealous of my friends and to see
how attractive the unfit they are
and there also i thought to myself
why didn’t god give you such an amazing
body
why didn’t god didn’t give me such an
amazing sports car
what we fail to realize as human beings
is that god has given us much more than
what we expected
i am i’ve got an extremely healthy body
with this i can exercise i can walk i
can eat
i can do many things but we as human
beings
fail to realize this but through
mindfulness
we can we can notice this and understand
that we should be thankful for
everything
so one lesson we learned here
is to be in the present moment and to be
thankful
for everything we have avoid yourself
from thinking about the future
and also avoid yourself from thinking
about the past
because in the end it’s not going to
matter
what’s good what’s going to matter is
where you’re standing right now
that’s going to influence your life

a yale medicine specialist says that
mindfulness
is very important during oven lifetime
coleman 19 has been an emotional setback
for all of us
while we do our daily tasks such as
working from home
doing our daily tasks such as
homeschooling
and the task i was given by my parents
to disinfect our groceries which is very
common in households
i can understand that recently
there was a time where i myself
developed
a fever and a sore throat
and to be honest to tell you all at that
moment of time i tried to forget
everything
i tried to forget everything that
happened
i prevented my mind from wandering into
negative thoughts
i tried to stay positive that in a
little while
i will get better i will get better with
the help of these medicines
i took the medication and medicines on
time
and without even realizing further i got
better in a very short amount of time
so you see my friends what’s
important in this life is to have a
positive mindset
and to use mindfulness as a medium to
focus on the present
to notice what good is happening around
us
this good in the end can influence how
we perceive things
and can also influence how our life will
go in the future
we someone once told me that we are
all the genies of our own bodies
the magicians my positivity and optimism
at the previous situation acted as a
command
which then served as a message towards
my whole body
[Music]
we do not know when covet 19 will end
but all we want but what we must do is
to stay positive
and mindful remember
there is a natural connection for when
you say thank you
you will eventually receive more
there is an old indian movie called
bhakt
which i’m pretty sure many of you indian
many of you bollywood fans have heard of
it before
the lyrics of this song contribute into
understanding mindfulness
let me say the lyrics of the song for
you
again
this means that you do not know what is
going to happen in the future
what you know is only the specific
movement
why are you looking at the future and
the present
when you can enjoy why are you looking
at the future
and the past when you can enjoy your
moments in the present
personally i saw my change through
mindfulness
i am going to share something with all
with all of you today
i want you to leave with learning
something very valuable
tomorrow before you start your day
put your hand on your heart and say to
yourself
good morning i will be mindful
in everything i do today try this out
and trust me you will experience
first-hand transformative power of
mindful thinking
this brings us to an end to my temp talk
thank you
