There is something that you can practice from the comfort of your Oakville senior residence community to help your mood day today. It’s called Mindfulness.

What is Mindfulness?

Simply put, it’s the practice of paying attention to how your mind and body feel without any self-judgment. Just like when you have a good friend that listens to your problems and tells you that they hear what you’re saying and will be there for you. With Mindfulness, you work on being that person for yourself. Mindfulness is a practice often used in tandem with meditation and both have ample benefits. If you want to learn more about the benefits of meditation during your senior living in Oakville, we have a blog about it from earlier this month that’s a good start.

4 Ways Mindfulness Benefits Your Senior Living in Oakville

  1. Increases in the Ability to Focus: Mindfulness helps your thoughts become more manageable and therefore it helps you from getting distracted from what matters
  2. Boost in Memory Retention and Recall: When you make a point of looking after yourself, your thoughts, and your emotions, your brain is able to function more efficiently while you enjoy life in your independent living senior home in Oakville.  In a similar way to meditation, mindfulness helps you manage mental clutter that might otherwise affect your day-to-day functioning.
  3. Reduction in Stress: As you learn to judge your thoughts and emotions less, they become less stressful for you
  4. Decrease in Mood Swings: If you find that you’re upset easily or that you react very emotionally to daily life, Mindfulness can help you curb that emotion in a healthy way so you can encounter daily stresses in a calm and collected manner.
