It was me who asked the question when I first learned about five minutes of mindfulness exercise. Yeah, I was truly surprised because of how a five minutes thing can bring so many benefits. Later I understand, it's really possible.
Let's see how we can practice this and what benefits we can get!
Take only five minutes from your day, anytime and anywhere you feel it would be best for you. Center your mind, take some deep breath, and think about 'what you are doing'. Not only reviewing your day, try to match it with your vision and life goal. You can do meditation for a couple of minutes. What most important is, taking the time to evaluate and focus your mind.
Doing this process every single day automatically removes negativity from life. When you start to question yourself and sit with yourself to ask what is going on; you make yourself responsible for everything. That means you will get questioned if you do something ethically wrong or makes a mistake.
This is how...
You will be more focused, more positive, ethically clear to yourself. Your self-image will start to grow, you will start to become a better person. You will feel a lot better about yourself and as well as your whole life.
I'm telling you, this sounds silly but it's not. When you put yourself in a position where you get to know yourself better, cross-check about life, reconnect with your inner self; all this makes you search for the deeper meaning of life.
And that's how doing five minutes of mindfulness practice can make our life better!
