Improving Your Health and Happiness Through Mindfulness

How Mindfulness Can Improve Quality of Life

relaxing fieldThe vast majority of us go through life running on a never ending treadmill with little notice to the small joys of life. We awaken, rush through breakfast to get to work/school, power through lunch,  rush home to dinner and then veg-out in front of the TV only to awake and start again.   While many think this is an ends to goal; car, house, vacation, it is really and ends to your health and happiness. The key to getting the most out of your life and health is to look for and enjoy the little moments in life, you need to improve your mindfulness.

What is Mindfulness?

In simplest terms, Mindfulness is making yourself aware and enjoying the little pleasure in life.
Think about these quotes: “ Stop and smell the roses” ,“The journey is half the fun” and “Change is the spice of life”
    Mindfullness
    These sayings, that we all know, are trying to get us to enjoy the moment we are in and not just rush onto the goal.     What are some of the little pleasures that we commonly miss during the day; the smell of coffee, seeing a friend or co-worker, seeing a sunrise or sunset, the joy of a hot shower, the exhausting of a good workout, a kiss from a loved one, a smile from a new encounter, etc.  This list of little joys we can focus on daily is nearly endless if we just slow down and pay attentions.
    Long term goals like a care, vacation or home are admirable but they take time and achieving them often causes stress. Mindfulness allows us to enjoy the simple, free and stressless moments every day, multiple times a day leading to a much happier and healthier life.
    Here are some ideas for improving your mindfulness, happiness and health:
    • Taste and chew your food .. enjoy the sensation and tastes  – if your food doesn’t allow for this it is a good sign you are buying poor quality food, buy yourself some healthier and natural food and enjoy
    • Smile at people and notice how your improve their day
    • Go outside and feel the sun, take a deep breath and enjoy nature
    • Go to the shore and feel the wind and hear the ocean
    • Take hot shower and feel the heat relax your muscles
    • Have a real conversation with someone
    • Electronic devices are poor substitutions for true mindfulness encounters. Mindfulness is best achieve through nature and personal contacts.
    Mindfulness can come from focusing on any of our five sensations; sight, sound, touch, taste and smell.  It can also come from focusing on positive emotions like caring, loving, and pleasure.  The key is to slow down enough to truly enjoy the event.

    A true treasure. A doctor, and his staff, that not only cares, but is an expert in his field. I travel from Northern Virginia to New Jersey once a month to see Dr. Zodkoy. A small price for the outstanding and knowledgeable medical care he provides.

    Dr. Zodkoy is amazing. He has helped me where an orthopedic doctor and physical therapy has failed. He uses chiropractic techniques, applied kinesiology and nutrition in his treatment plan. He truly works wonders. I have never felt better. You are treated like family from the time you walk through the door. Marie and Christy are always welcoming and pleasant. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

    I and my entire family see Dr. Zodkoy before anyone else for anything from sports injuries to ADHD to stress related issues. What he does works. He listens and catches things that lead to solutions. He explains what the cause of issues is, how he will treat them, and how long the treatments will take. I have referred dozens of people to him and every one has thanked me for the results they got from his treatments. I can't recommend him highly enough.

    I cannot say enough about the treatment that I have received from Dr Zodkoy. I was referred to Dr Z by a friend and I am glad that I made that first appointment. He was able to diagnose my problem immediately. I was truly impressed with the results that soon followed my treatments. I would highly recommend Dr Z based on his experience, knowledge and his ability to get results.

    I've had back problems for a very long time. I have 3 herniated discs that have caused me pain for over 15 years, sometimes severely so. After seeing several back doctors/surgeons, one who said surgery was the only option, this scared me away after hearing stories of things getting worse after surgery. I was referred to Dr Zodkoy who has since been a miracle. I no longer have the everyday back pain. I can pick up my kids, go golfing, stand for 14 hours a day which my job requires, and live a normal life. I have been so thankful for his therapies and would recommend him to anyone.
