My Dad taught me how to concentrate and meditate when I was very young by sitting me in front of a window and telling me to concentrate on making a cloud disappear. It helped me a lot, of course I didn’t know clouds disappeared anyway.
So cool! What a great little exercise. I'd love to teach my future child(ren) about mindfulness and meditation; I think it's a great skill.
Meghan Livingstone it was and by the way I’m also reading A New Earth. And just finished The Power of Now. Really good.
One of my biggest regrets, while my children were growing up was always rushing to the future instead of enjoying my moments with them.
Meghan: Put away your phone while eating.
Me: (watch this video while having breakfast)
Same here :D!
@@ninamclynn2843 😂😂😂😂
Me too 😂
Me too😄and I enjoyed it
I recently found your channel after searching for “healthy lifestyle” and I’ve watched pretty much EVERY video. I love your content and am trying to implement your seven pillars of health. Thanks for being real and relevant! ❤️
mindfullness is so important! I like to do it throughout my day
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
In five minutes I'm going home by foot even though it rained the whole day. Now it is not raining but in case it starts, I will just enjoy it under my umbrella-ella and be grateful for having feet to walk, healthy lungs to breathe and having a cozy home to return to at the end of the day. I already practice minimalism, optimism and gratefulness, but I also need to adopt mindfulness too, especially when I'm eating because I just love food too much I can't stop eating it 😍. Also, the way you smiled at Sean made my heart melt.❤️❤️❤️
I needed this. Feeling tired & sometimes annoyed with people's behavior, i cant fix them just look @ myself and ask why
Jan Gutz you’re not alone ❤️ work and other people even though we love them can at times burn us out, but this video really did bring our good points to focus on and try 🙂
How on earth did you not come up in my recommendations before? I can practice listening more, simple but not always easy.
Thank you .I also trying to get mindfulness most of the time. Because it slove all of the problems of our daily life.
I defo could do with being more present in social interactions. And listening more actively . Thanks for these :)
I hear ya - that's something I'm always working on too. Thanks for watching :)
To be honest, it's my toddler who has been adding mindfulness to my life lately. I am suffering from high functioning depression, and most times I find myself having conversations with myself imagining am doing it with whoever i should be having the conversation with, and my toddler has been noticing a lot, and she comes, looks at me kind of questioning whom am talking to, and shakes me calling me to divert my attention. It's been very helpful
I needs some quiet time for just me. Thanks Anna
Love that you're making a video about this - it's so important...now more than ever! Love your joy, sweetness and timeless content as always Meghan! I've been following you for the last year and was so inspired by you to start a youtube channel about slow living. Thank you for sharing your light with us!
Great video-lots of good ideas. The first thing I did after watching was put down my phone, look around my living room, and notice the sound of the fan, the feel of the air coming in through the open windows, and my cat sitting in a sunbeam. Very calming, and a very simple thing to do multiple times per day. 🌷
I need to start listening more, sometimes people are talking to me and I just get Lost in my thoughts
That happens to me
So glad you got to have a break and soak in your own moments Meghan. You look refreshed!
Thank you for this video. I really think in the current climate individuals and families will be looking to be more mindful and focused on what they think is important int their lives, including their homes nourishment and hobbies. It's so important to fulfil and nourish our bodies in every way...taking care of our bodies as well as our spirit/souls is no small task and if we take our eyes off the ball of mindfulness it soon rolls off to the wayside.
Mindfulness is the word I received last week in my spiritual meditation. This video was right on time. I just had a mindful interaction with someone I cared about yesterday, unknowingly before this video, and it took our relationship to a whole different level. Will practice more of this. It has been added to my heavy rotation repeat videos.
Hey Meghan, welcome back! I am glad you got some time to get out in nature and recharge. Going to practice some of these tips besides meditation and be more present during the day.
Hi. My name is Uilian, I live in Brazil, and is the first time that I look her channel. I loved this video, because I love to learn about Mindfulness. Thank you very Much.
Thank you so much dear,you have helped me alot.May God bless you.😘😘
Thank you for great message
Being an observer of an emotion is a really useful tip! Thank you x
Thanks for the tips. I have Never thought about the importance of mindful eating. I Will definitely Put it on de practice.
I need to start with my mindfulness morning meditation, I really feel that when I do it’s help me a lot. Thank you so much Meghan for all your videos, I enjoy them so much and I also learn a lot with them. 🌙🌟
Half of these activities fill me up with anxiety. Not relaxing at all. Wondet why that is. But I wish I could do them. Love your videos
I practice mindfulness by taking my morning tea, and my devotional book, and my journal, and sitting down by a window, then I'll take at least 10 minutes to write and read and sip. This not only starts my day on a calm note, but it refreshes my faith and reminds me of what's truly important.
Hi Meghan! I have been meditating for about 15 minutes each morning and I practice yoga for about 30 minutes each morning. This really helps me get ready for my day :-)
Mindfulness is crucial! Thanks for sharing the 7 ways! 😍
I really want to write thoughts down , I keep telling myself I will do this regularly and find Iam doing it once every few weeks. I think I will start fresh by writing down your ideas in this video ,and then I can always refer back to them in my journal ! Thanks for a lovely video 😊
To be more mindful, I like to take a few deep breaths or watch outside and enjoy the view (a lot of mountains and trees around here) :)
Amazing video! Thank u!❤️
Great video! Learning to check in with myself and finding out how I am really feeling!
thank you once again!
Just what I needed 🥺
I needed this. I will take notes and practice.
Thank you! ❤️
Thank You for this video! Just what i needed. I have started to meditate, learning little by little.
Meghan, watching your videos is always so calming/grounding and over the last couple years being subscribed, I have learned so much from you. Thank you for everything you do!
I reaaaallllyyy need to practice more mindfulness especially with work. Lately I find myself lagging behind others or redoing a task because I wasn't very mindful of the situation. Oh and also my surroundings. I'm not really sure how to do it but I guess the first step is being aware it needs to be addressed.🧐😳😌💞
Thank you Meghan :) I needed to hear this today. xxx
Always love your feed and vibes. Always lifts me and and makes me relax. More informative videos soon and more power to you 💕💕
I loved your video, and the way you look directly into the camera, its like we are talking :)
Im planning to go off social media for a while, been wasting to much time there documenting my life and checking who viewed my ig story..
I'll go to nature, sit under a tree and just breathe, without a phone. I'll invest more time in doing things I really enjoy, which is coloring by numbers, taking care of my plants.
I'll try mindful eating, however its new to me.
thank you once again for this video.
i lovedd this videos and the ideas are really great!! thank you so much!!🏩
Thank you for this video Meghan! I just started not to use social media like i use to because its becoming more and more toxic and its giving me anxiety. I will do all the tips that you have shared.
Loved this 💚 the perfect video to watch before I start to work. Have a nice day 🙃
Heartwarming! Thank you so much still learning more on mindfulness and these things warmest wishes :)
You are such a calming person 😌
This video really help me, by a lot! Thanks meghan👍
Practicing more mindful eating. Thanks Meghan ❤
I missed your videos and needed this one, thank you💕
Thanks Meghan.
You explained mindfulness well, I'll recommend this video to my friends and who needs this. Comments from Taiwan, Asia. Thanks
Such a beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing this. I would love to try the mindful eating,
Thank you so much for this video, it is so helpful❤️
thank you Meghan
Thank you. I like the part that you acknowledge that sitting still doesnt have to be long time. Clever.
Oh wow! How I missed watching your videos 😍 welcome back ☺️
So glad you’re back. I hope you really enjoyed the little respite. I’m going to work better at being mindful of negative self talk. I tend to be extra critical of myself and it does affect how I see myself, and it can filter down into relationships sometimes in a negative way. Thanks for your videos. You really help with lots of examples of living a better life in general.
Negative self-talk is such a big one. Good for you for choosing to be more mindful of that. Sometimes all it takes is that little bit of awareness to start making shifts in how/what we think. :-)
Meghan Livingstone thank you for your support and insights!
I do meditation everyday and I will be mindful in the morning ...preparing my green tea ...enjoying the nature... these tips r very informative...Thank u🙂
You are a delight to listen.
This is very inspiring! 🥰 love it
Much needed video.Thank you so much.😘😇
I want to learn this. I have struggled with debilitating, chronic insomnia for 8 years now. On week 7 CBT-I but it’s not working. I sleep 0-5 hours a night. I had to stop working 2 months ago. Not physically or mentally able to work. Only 50. Single. Scared. Want to have a quality life.
Hey! Missed you! It's always great to take time for yourself and recharge yourself! I am working on living the moment, it's hard but I am working on it. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful video!
I find using guided meditations very helpful as a beginner. The voice narrating what to do keeps me more focused than just sitting in silence.
You're such an inspiration to me ❤
Thank you for a reminder😊 It’s funny how often I forget about mindfulness. I have two small children and sometimes I just want to do to much. Practice practice practice 🌺 Tomorrow we are going to have dinner with our friends. I’m going to practice mindfulness during that time. I’m going to chew my food slowly and enjoy every single bite. I’m going to engage in conversation and going to be present in the moment. I find your videos such a inspiration. Thank you ☺️
This is a great video I will practice some of these things threw out my day thank you for sharing
I’m going to take in my surroundings and appreciate the moment more. I couldn’t agree with you more about feeling like you get caught up on what everyone else is doing rather than being present, grateful and enjoying your own life. I’m going to work on that too😊 I hope you enjoyed your break and feel rested💕
Yesss absolutely. It's really easy to get caught up in all of that. Thanks for watching Kelly!
Hai. ...
Thank you for this, you have reminded me how important it is to be mindful again. Especially to check-in with oneself! Absolutely cherish this concept.
Yes! "Check in with oneself"....golden. I'm going to share my perspective on how mindfulness and minimalism are complementary in an upcoming video this week. Have an awesome day! 😀
Love this!
Thank you ... ❤️
God bless you Meghan 💚
Thank you. You inspire me..♡
Lovely topic...being present in the moment is great...it totally avoids the mind focusing on unwanted stuff...Thank u very much ...🙂content is very helpful...
I want to eat and eat only while I'm doing it. Trying to fight the urge to read something or watch something while I eat is tough but when I do it it's amazing. Thank u for the video! 😊
Love your videos.. Thank you. ❤❤❤
What a great topic, mindfulness is huge. I want to be present in all that I am doing and to focus on myself more than everyone else. Trying to do something everyday that relaxes me. I am also trying not to speak/think negative thought about myself or others. To show others more love, grace, and mercy. And to know when to walk away when others are just sucking the life out of me and/or are just toxic but to do it kindly and respectfully.
Well said! I'm going to share my perspective on how mindfulness and minimalism are complementary in an upcoming video this week. Have an awesome day! 😀
Your uploads always make me happy ❤ Thank you Meghan for being such an inspiration ❤ More love and lots of hugs🌻🌻🌻

Wonderful topic! I need to get back to mindful eating. Have so lost touch with doing so and tend to eat while working, in front of computer or tv. Thanks for the reminder!!
I need reminders as well. Daily self check ins..I'm going to share my perspective on how mindfulness and minimalism are complementary in an upcoming video this week. Have an awesome day! 😀
I just thought of you yesterday. I made sure to check your page if i miss a new video from you. Now, you have this.
Making a more calming and mindful morning and nighttime routine.
Mindfulness IS the art of bringing your attention to the moment. Yoga and meditation are great tools to reach it! :)
Your videos are so calming. I was doing well with my mindfulness but my mother passed away recently and I have my way and I feel so lost. Glad you had a lovely break.
I'm sorry to hear that. I have experienced that pain as well...when I was a teen. I will be sharing my own mindfulness video this week. Feel better 🌿
You're just amazing, greetings from Guatemala
2nd yoohooooo 😍😍👏🏻👏🏻
You got some sun,you look great ! Keep it going
Great video, thank you. Is it possible to be mindful like this with kids around? How does one stay present and enjoy the rich experience of preparing the morning coffee with little ones around, perhaps needing to make the bus, etc.
i wanna learn more about how to deal with anxitey or panic attacks and i wanna learn more from you to help guide me the right from what crazy thought i feel
recharging is a must
I practice mindfulness in writing and drawing!
What I would like to ask you: What about people that have a hard live? That have such little money that they work for many, many hours just to have food on their table? Not being able to stay at home, make a great breakfast, sit and meditate.. those, who are busy or/and have (many) children. Sometimes its hard to explain to them, what mindfulness is about at all! Any tips concerning such conversations?
I feel like mindfulness is something for the first world countries... :(
Hi! I think it might be even more important then, because we cannot always control our circumstances. It is important to breath, which is free and can be done by anyone at any time, we do it all the time, just need to be conscious of breathing. I know life gets busy and messy, it's not always possible to incorporate mindfulness. But at the very least take a few moments to breathe consciously. Not everyone will understand, but lead by example. I think anyone can try.
I believe, even daily chores such as cooking, washing up or cleaning , when done with mindfulness, are meditative and these intentional activities too bring peace of mind.
I have been practicing mindful eating, it has been really challenging because sometimes i forget to do so until half way eating.
Meghan,,please share some budget friendly lunch/dinner tips
I love your calming videos! I am curious to know how your content will change when you have a baby! I do try to put your tips into practice but sometimes life just doesn’t allow for quiet calm mornings! Hahahaha! Hope you had a nice vacation! You said you went North... since you are from Toronto I’m guessing it wasn’t past North Bay! I lived in Timmins for 9 years... we called going south going to Toronto! Haha! -Lindsay
Being mindful with little things around us makes us concentrate and realize more what we have. Couldn't agree with you more that check in with ourselves makes us realize to take action. this lock down has made me realize the value of mindfulness and i can totally relate with all of these points. You are so inspiring and love your soothing vibe in every video.
Wonderful video, Meghan! I especially found the cloud technique interesting, and I can see it being very helpful to me! One thing I have been trying to be more mindful of is not letting worries crowd my mind. I've been more keen to catch them when they appear and not let them wonder. :) Also, where did you get your top/dress? I just love that fabric and its color.
Ugh I hear you on all the worrying! I too am a big worrier. But I agree - catching them in the moment and not letting them take over is key. I think it's a lifelong practice. And thank you so much, I love the colour too! It's from Winners. xo
Hey Meghan! First of all - big fan of yours!
the outfit in 06:43 is lovely! I love it.
Can i get link where you got that beautiful tank and shorts?
Thanks! PS keep it up! FAVORITE CZcams CHANNEL
