Mindfulness is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the present moment.
When applied to relationships, mindfulness can help you build stronger, more meaningful connections with your partner. I’m not going to give you a complete guide on mindfulness meditation but if you want to learn, in the conclusion I will share with you a free course with 40 sessions 10 minutes per day. I really recommend you to check it out.
In the mid-time, here is a guide to mindfulness in relationships.
· Practice ·
To be mindful in your relationship, it’s important to first practice mindfulness in your daily life. This may involve setting aside time for mindfulness meditation, focusing on your breath, or practicing mindfulness during your daily activities. By cultivating mindfulness in your daily life, you can bring a greater sense of awareness and presence to your relationship.
If the preview’s paragraph sounds confusing, remember, mindfulness is the ability to be fully in the present moment. Don’t dream of things and fear from the future, and don’t engage in prizes or horrors from the past. Is not to live the moment it is to live IN the moment.
Continue with the rest of the points and you will get a better sense of it.
· Communication ·
Mindful communication is an important aspect of any healthy relationship. When communicating with your partner, try to stay present and fully listen to what they are saying. Avoid interrupting or reacting defensively, and instead try to understand their perspective.
As we said before, if mindfulness is the practice to be fully present, them mindful communication means to be in the conversation. It doesn’t matter if its boring, or you’re mad for something. Be in the moment, express your feelings and ideas in that moment and listen to what the other person is saying without thinking what to respond or what is on the tv.
· Practice active listening ·
Active listening is a key component of mindful communication. When your partner is speaking, try to fully listen and understand what they are saying, rather than simply waiting for your turn to speak. Reflect back on what your partner has said to show that you have fully heard and understood their perspective.

· Take breaks from technology ·
Technology can be a major distraction in relationships. To practice mindfulness in your relationship, try taking breaks from technology and setting aside regular “technology-free” times to connect with your partner.
Remember a device in your pocket is very diferent that a device on the table. It doesnt matter if its upside down or not. If its on the table there is something else present in that moment that will distract you from time to time.
· Engage in activities ·
Mindfulness in relationships can be strengthened by engaging in activities that bring you closer together. This could include things like going for a walk together, having a date night, or engaging in a shared hobby. The key is to be present and fully engaged in the activity, rather than letting your mind wander or getting distracted by technology.
