5. Move Towards Mindfulness

The idea of mindfulness with OAB is an important one, but one that may seem challenging. Mindfulness means gaining an increased awareness about what your body is telling you. It is not thinking about or dwelling on an issue; it is only being aware of it.

Getting in the habit of paying more attention to your body may result in new information regarding your OAB symptoms.

Perhaps there is an extra sensation you missed previously that signifies a message from your bladder. You can use this data to move to the bathroom before urgency sets in.

To practice mindfulness, sit in a quiet room while being attentive to different areas of your body. How do they feel? What are they telling you? This might seem boring at first, but it is quite helpful and worthwhile.
