Most people on this earth struggle with anxiousness and overthinking when it comes to things that they said to someone or did somewhere, etc.. you get the gist.

If you're one out of the billions of people on this earth who deal with anxiousness or catch yourself often overthinking, I suggest you keep reading.

This study is one I had never really thought of, but I couldn't be happier to have come across it.

It was about two weeks ago when I was running some errands in which I randomly decided to stop in Barnes and Noble in the search of a decent book to read... If I'm being honest, I'm not much of a reader at ALL but figured it would be a good idea to find a book that could potentially at least keep my interest.

As soon as I walked into the store, they had a shelf with a select few "bargain books" on BOGO sales. I looked through them because I really wasn't down for spending a lot of money on a book that I had a high likelihood of not even reading, or just reading even a few pages and letting it sit at my desk collecting dust. But as I went through the books and read the descriptions on the back, the one entitled "Mindfulness" really caught my eye.

I went home later that day and started to read through the pages and within a few days, I had gone through the entire book. I learned that this practice is basically really focusing on what you're doing at the moment.

We all often spend so much time worrying about the future- what's to come the next day, who we'll run into that same night, or even a presentation we have to do the next hour.. BUT, what about paying attention and focusing on what's going on the moment that it's happening? If we TRULY focus on who we're having a conversation with, the conversation will flow stronger and most likely be more enjoyable as you're connecting better with whomever you're speaking with when you're totally into the conversation.

"Mindfulness" really focuses on incorporating being more aware of your five senses with whatever it is that you're doing.

Essentially, try to write down whatever it is you have to do tomorrow, or later, or in an hour, and pick it back up then. For now, try to engage more at the moment you're living.. because you'll never relive it and as cliche as that sounds, it couldn't be truer.
