Eve Lewis Prieto, director of teaching at Headspace, explains the difference and shares tips for starting a mindfulness practice.

Meditation vs. mindfulness—and how to get started

Hi, I'm Eve and I'm a meditation teacher and the director of teaching at headspace. You may have heard these two words, meditation and mindfulness used interchangeably before. But there is a difference. Mindfulness is a quality of mind and it refers to paying attention on purpose with a soft and open attitude. So often in life, we're distracted, caught up in the busyness and stress of life. And this creates a lot of tension in the mind and body. And we miss so much of what life has to offer. When we pay attention. In this way, we start to understand our feelings and our emotions in more detail. So now meditation, meditation is the practice and this is where we take some intentional time out of our busy day. Could be three minutes, five minutes, 10 minutes to practice and cultivate mindfulness. And by training the mind to be more present, open and at ease, we tend to experience greater calm clarity, 10 and compassion in our lives. Just a few tips to help you get settled and set up. So first, and this is probably the most important piece you're not trying to switch off the mind or clear the mind of thoughts. In fact, you're learning to observe thoughts, observe the mind without judgment. Sometimes your focus will wander. In fact, it will wander a lot or you will forget to follow your breath. That's ok. It's part of the experience. It's actually in noticing the mind wandering and bringing it back that builds that mental strength and resilience. Second, learning to meditate is like learning any other skill, think of it like exercising a that you're working at like any other muscle, that's a part of your body. It takes consistent practice to get comfortable. And with meditation, it's usually easier if you have a teacher to guide you. And lastly, it can take some time to get comfortable sitting with the mind. There might be obstacles or setbacks along the way, but that's all part of the practice. It's a part of life. We're learning to be comfortable sitting with uncertainty, sitting with a busy mind and starting small is totally ok. It's actually much better to be consistent at the beginning to build the habit. And really you're doing great just showing up.

Eve Lewis Prieto, director of teaching at Headspace, walks us through a quick guided meditation.

Try this one minute guided meditation you can do anywhere

Try this one-minute guided meditation you can do anywhere

Today, I wanted to share a really short one minute meditation with you. So let's get started. I'm sitting in a chair, but you can sit on the couch, you can lie down for this, whatever is going to be most comfortable for you. So take a moment to get comfortable, you can close your eyes or rest your gaze downward, softening the jaw, relaxing the shoulders as best you can. I didn't go with any tension in the body, maybe feeling the feet on the floor. Let's take a slower deeper breath breathing in through the nose and out through the mail. And for the next few moments focusing the attention on your breathing. So noticing where in the body you feel that movement, not breathing in any special way, just following each in breath and each out bra when the mind wanders, which it will just gently returning the attention to the breath. It's ok if you have to bring the mind back every second, it's actually in noticing and bringing the mind back that we build that mental strength. So I didn't go with any focus on the bride, perhaps feeling your feet on the floor. Noticing sounds around you and in your own time you had your eyes closed, generally opening them. So thank you for pausing and practicing with me today. Sometimes all it takes is just a minute or two. And I really hope you learned something new and that you'll come back again to try it.

Chrystal Ramos, mental health coach at Headspace, shares tips to make mindfulness part of your daily routine.

5 tips to integrate mindfulness into your life

Whether it be for decreasing work, stress and anxiety, improving sleep, and even calming nerves around public speaking. I will often recommend mindfulness training such as meditation when trying to tackle various life challenges. In this case, all you really need is 1 to 5 minutes a day, any time of day and a space where you can focus for that length of time. Nothing fancy a chair, a car, a walk outside, either of those work perfectly. Here are five tips that can be helpful in integrating a mindfulness practice into your day to day life. First. If you're getting started with meditating, it's helpful to add it to an existing routine like having a cup of coffee or tea in the morning or even after breakfast. Second, you may find it helpful to schedule a reoccurring meeting in your calendar every day for a few minutes. Just to meditate. You can also try working in a midday meditation or mindfulness session to help give your mind a break. After a few hours of working and thinking in our increasingly overstimulated lives. Our brains have more information to process than ever before and with so much going on finding and keeping our focus can be challenging in a busy tech connected world. But if we can be calm and clear headed, it's easier to find that sweet spot. A relaxed focus that keeps us learning and retaining new information. When people take routine breaks, it can actually make them more productive and focused for the next tip meditating before a big meeting or exam can help with calming jitters and keep you focused. When the stakes are high, the emotions usually match and with the emotions swirling, it's not easy to sit down and focus. And finally, for the fifth tip at the end of the day, it can be helpful to wind down with the meditation to help transition ourselves out of our work mindset. Unlike our electronics, humans aren't hardwired to power off with the push of a button. We're not meant to stay amped up all day and then drop into sleep in an instant, try slowing down with a short sleep meditation to relax the body and the mind. I hope this was helpful and encouraging to start your own mindfulness and meditation practice.
