He shared, \u201cWhenever you feel stressed or anxious, dedicate a few minutes to one of the exercises. They will help regulate your emotions and activate your parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a sense of calmness and well-being. The primary goal of mindfulness is to focus on the present moment, freeing yourself from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.\u201d According to him, here are five mindfulness practices to deal with depression and cultivate self-acceptance &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0c3776;\"><strong>1. Check-In Yourself : <\/strong><\/span>Pause periodically to assess your physical, mental, and emotional state. This practice increases self-awareness and helps identify your needs and emotions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0c3776;\"><strong>2. Thoughts as Bubbles <\/strong>:<\/span> Visualise disturbing thoughts as bubbles. Observe them without attachment, allowing them to rise and dissipate. Return your focus to the breath whenever distractions arise.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0c3776;\"><strong>3. Mindful Breathing Rose : <\/strong><\/span>Use a visual object like a rose to guide your breathing. Inhale, imagining the petals returning and exhale, picturing them dispersing. This exercise regulates emotions and activates the parasympathetic nervous system.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0c3776;\"><strong>4. Digital Detox : <\/strong><\/span>Take breaks from electronic devices and social media. Engage in activities that foster relaxation and connection with the present moment, such as reading, meditating, or spending time in nature.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0c3776;\"><strong>5. Self-Compassion : <\/strong><\/span>Speak kindly to yourself when facing suffering or struggles. Acknowledge your pain, remind yourself that you are not alone, and offer soothing words or gestures. Reduce self-criticism and prioritize self-care.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sortDec\">\n<p>Excerpts from article published in\u00a0 <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/mirchi.in\/stories\/lifestyle\/6-simple-ways-in-which-mindfulness-can-boost-your-memory\/101086022\">Mirchi Plus<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0c3776;\"><strong>About the Writer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:84\"><span style=\"color: #0c3776;\"><a style=\"color: #0c3776;\" href=\"https:\/\/manishbehl.com\/\">Manish Behl<\/a>: World Renowned Mindfulness Master &amp; Leadership Guru<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34636 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/c4efilms.com\/msc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TeacherTrainingInstructorManishBehl.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"105\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/c4efilms.com\/msc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TeacherTrainingInstructorManishBehl.png 105w, https:\/\/c4efilms.com\/msc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/TeacherTrainingInstructorManishBehl-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 105px) 100vw, 105px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:2\">Manish Behl, a globally acclaimed <strong>mindfulness and emotional intelligence expert<\/strong>, makes this your reality.
