What is Mindfulness & How to Have a Mindful Conversation??

Mindfulness Is Not Difficult, Just We Need to Remember to Do It.

Sharon Salzberg

Mindfulness means to live and feel each and every moment of your present with full focus and awareness. It's all about noticing things in a non-habitual and nonjudgmental manner. This will improve your awareness and help you to take better options, decisions and actions.

Phycological science says that mindfulness is very good for us. Mostly it will give us better clarity of our surrounding environment.
Here are my ways of mindfulness.

• When I visit any new place, first of all, I take a relax glance at my surroundings for something new.

• I notice the deep, my colleague behaviour, a tone of his voice and body language. Figure out something new in him/her or notice something different that I never noticed before in anyone. etc

• During my conversation, I just stay calm and try to seek something new and ignore the information that I already know.

• I used to do this when I have free time. I make the cheats of my friends names and shuffle it. I open one by one and realise what is my first thought comes in my mind for them.

This my way of mindfulness. Which increases my awareness and focusing power. Also, help me in one to one conversation with my colleagues.

Then,

How Mindfulness is Very Effective During Conversation.?

In the office or in routine, when we converse with someone, that time we listen carefully and then give active and rapid responses. It happens with all of them after some time unconsciously we repeat the same thing in mind and start inward conversation. Thoroughly we analyse the responses we made or s/he made, behaviour, any statistical data s/he presented, arrogant successive responses etc

illustrations ( inwardly talk with our self or with mind likewise)

• I think his behaviour was totally changed from last week..!!
• Finally, he passed to change my mind, last week he tried a lot but he failed.
• His response was too successive. 

Like that. But in this, we never try to seek new information which we don't know or what we should know. Such kind of conversation called gossip. Unproductive, directionless and meaningless conversation with each other. It has no objective and final conclusion. A conversation with focus and awareness called a mindful conversation. In this, we try to seek new information without giving the least responses.

In mindful conversation, good eye contact indicates our focus in conversation. Noticing the Body movements, behaviour, hand gestures and tone the voice, it indicates that we are aware of the person and our surrounding environment. From this, we can anticipate the other person perceptions easily with least responses. Also, this will help us in responding effectively during a conversation. It will definitely improve your personal, professional and social life.

Conclusion of all is,

Mindfulness is all about how you feel each of your moment. For this which I feel that you don't need any deep meditation and yoga techniques. Just you need to keep yourself calm, relax and with full awareness and focus you need to scan your environment.
