Conscious Living To Be A Better Person

Kevin Devoto
The practice of conscious living can be summoned up as being aware. Be mindful and aware of all of your thoughts, actions, beliefs, and goals. Be fully present in the moment. Conscious living can be practiced in the body, mind, and spirit.

Body

A big part of conscious living is your nutrition and being aware of what food you eat and what effect it has on your mind and body. Eating a nutritious diet can help to manage weight, high blood pressure, and cholesterol. It can help with better sleep, allergy control and any number of diseases.

Your Diet Can Affect You

Different foods have various impacts on your body. Pay attention to what happens immediately after eating certain foods. Keep a food diary to track your reactions. If you have histamine intolerance or food sensitivity you may have an immediate physical reaction such as elevated heart rate, or anxiety. High processed foods can cause sugar highs.

Mind

Conscious living is also important when it comes to the mind. It is important to pay close attention to your thoughts and address any negative thought patterns before they become ingrained into beliefs. Paying better attention to your thoughts allows you to stop the negative ones. Thinking more positively will lead to greater happiness.

Practice Gratitude

Practice gratitude daily. Learn to not judge yourself for present circumstances and past mistakes. Be thankful for what you have now. Don’t let fear hold you back. Take steps to overcome any fears or feelings of unworthiness.  Forge your own path and stop making decisions and doing things based on what is expected and what others believe you should do.

Spirit

Take some time to get in touch with yourself through mindfulness and self-care. This type of conscious living can be achieved through a mindfulness practice such as meditation. A great way to enhance your meditation practice is by using essential oils for aromatherapy. Essential oils such as oregano oil can help you to focus and center your intentions.

Meaningful Friends

You can also nourish your spirit by spending time with like-minded individuals. Find a community that supports and encourages one another. Find a spiritual or religious practice that helps you to find meaning in your life and makes you feel complete. Live your life in harmony with the values that you truly believe in. Treat others with kindness and empathy.

Conclusion

Conscious living is a great way to improve your happiness and overall quality of life. Through conscious, mindful practices, you can begin to let go of what no longer serves you and spend your time and energy on what will bring you joy and help you to reach your goals.
