Welcome to A To Z On Mindfulness For Newbies
The sixth letter to be explored in A To Z on Mindfulness For Newbies is F. F is for Focus.
One of the key ingredients of mindfulness is the Focus. We are living in an era of multitasking and more mind chatters. So we lack our focus naturally. But it can be much improved by practicing mindfulness.
“The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.”
~Thích Nhất Hạnh

Mindfulness Challenge For The Day
The Mental Focus Exercise
- Place a candle in front of you and start focusing on its bright flame.
- Just look at the flame as long as you can.
- When your mind begins to wander, don’t rush to a conclusion, but gently acknowledge your thoughts and then lovingly bring your thoughts to the flame you are focusing.
- The longer you are able to focus on the object, the more your mindfulness will increase.
- You could also focus on your breathing.

Thanks, dear!!
Focus is such an integral aspect of our lives, yet this is what we are losing in todays times. ITs all about briging n the energy to do one thing at a time
My problem, I cant stay quiet for long. If I do my thoughts wander to weird directions. I need to learn to focus and stay quiet
Tongue Twister for F
You are right. Focusing on the here and the now, focusing on the task at hand is what will help us achieve peace as well as success. Liked the quotes very much, Vasantha.
Thanks, Shilpa !!!
Absolutely the more quieter you are the more focused ur ,loved the quotes
So true.
I need to do this exercise . I am very bad at multitasking. I worry when there is too much to do. I think it’s because I can’t focus well. The candle exercise will be useful to me. Thanks Vasantha
Do try and Let me know.
I have not practiced any focus exercises as such, but I think my mind wanders if I am working on something which I do not like doing. So at such times, such exercises can be helpful.
You are right, Rohan.
Very nice and inspiring quotes.. excellent collection.
Thanks.

Such lovely quotes! I especially love the one by Winston Churchill! So true! How a Fitbit helps improve your life.
Thanks much.
Let me add one more to your repertoire. The people who are quietest have the loudest minds and are extremely focused. Nice set of quotes.
I loved your quotes Vasantha and thank you for sharing them . I particularly think Wknston Churchill’s is. Good reminder for us NOT to get distracted by negativity- another deterrent to focusing on the present
Thanks much !!!
What a lovely curation of quotes. Enjoyed reading all of them. Good one!
Thanks!!!
