Mindfulness

#Mindfulness is, quite simply, the act of giving your full attention to the task at hand or to what's in front of you.

Sometimes, we can be mindful without even trying, because what's in front of us is naturally very interesting and we are captivated.

At other times, however, we struggle to keep out #attention on what requires it.

In our martial arts training, we constantly practise bringing the mind back onto what's in front of us. We use the physical technique of putting our body back into a ready stance.

By doing this several times throughout one lesson, we train ourselves to develop a mechanism for mindfulness.

Although we may not be physically able to come back to a ready stance at work or at school, this regular practise can help us train our mind to snap back onto what needs its #focus.
