Here are some practical tips to help you become more mindful:

Tips for Being Mindful

Start your day with intention: Begin your day with a few minutes of mindful breathing. Setting a positive intention can shape your mindset and help you stay focused throughout the day.

‍

Connect with your breath: If you find yourself overwhelmed by distracting thoughts that take you away from the present, try reconnecting with your breath. This tip is useful for when you are in a conversation, trying to focus on relationship growth, trying to complete a chore or a work task, or simply trying to enjoy the present moment. By focusing on your breath, you can anchor yourself in the moment and regain your concentration.

‍

Limit multitasking: While multitasking might seem efficient, it often leads to errors and increased stress. Focus on one task at a time, giving it your full attention. This can improve productivity and reduce feelings of overwhelm.

‍

Take mindful breaks: Incorporate short breaks into your day to reset your mind. Step outside for a walk, stretch, or simply sit quietly and observe your surroundings. These breaks can boost your creativity and energy levels.

‍

Practice gratitude: Spend a few moments each day reflecting on what you are grateful for. Keeping a gratitude journal can shift your focus from what's lacking to the abundance in your life, fostering a more positive outlook.

‍

Engage in mindful eating: Instead of eating on the go or in front of your work computer (both are all-too-common), take time to savor your meals! Pay attention to the flavors, textures, and aromas of your food. Notice how you feel after.

Perfect Pairing: Harnessing the Anti-Aging Power of Methylene Blue and Red Light Therapy

I am a big proponent of health-promoting therapies and two of the ones I’m now regularly using in my practice are red light therapy and methylene blue. The extraordinary benefits of combining the red and the blue, two modalities which, in different ways, both stimulate the powerplants inside our cells, the mitochondria, with the result that the body has more healing energy on tap. Each therapy enhances the other, creating a synergistic effect that I like to call, 1 plus 1 equals 3. Or, combine and conquer! Here are my thoughts on how to put them both to work for you.

7 Reasons Why You Need More Protein for Anti-Aging – and 6 Ways to Get Yours

Just about every day patients ask me how they can age well, or at minimum, do it better than their parents and grandparents did -- and the good news is that many of them can! As the biology of aging has evolved over the past few decades, we now know so much more about how to help our bodies age more slowly, in better health, than ever before. Granted, we’ve not quite figured out how to stop aging but there are a number of steps we can take, starting now, to get into a slower aging groove. One of the biggies is protein. While it may not seem like an obvious clock-stopper, as we age, increasing protein intake becomes especially important – and a lot of people overlook this relatively simple, longevity upgrade.
