Mindfulness Minute

It's good to have high hopes. But don't forget to be patient too. High hopes can take time to fulfill - it rarely happens overnight.

We often bring invisible expectations to the table that we only become aware of when we get frustrated. Check in with yourself to figure out what they are.

Sometimes, you have to be your own voice of encouragement. We all begin by making mistakes and being a beginner.

When you're trying something new or attempting to be creative, stop letting unnecessary expectations get in the way. Let yourself go, have fun, enjoy the experience. 

If a friendship or relationship ends, it's not all on you. Once you reach the point of doing everything you could, you have to let it go. It's not your fault.

We can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be liked by everyone. But some people, no matter how much we try, will dislike us for their own reasons. And that's just part of life amongst people.

Sometimes we feel a lot in very little time. But feelings can change and evolve. And so can our perspective on the situation. Let it change.

You're not going to like everyone, nor will you like everything about everyone. And that's actually ok. 

We don't have to struggle with our inner questions alone. Sometimes, even if we're unsure they have insights, the people around us can share perspectives that can help us in creative, non-linear ways.

There's never going to be a good time to pause. Life always has more tasks waiting for us. It's up to us to take that five second pause anyways. Not cause there's time for it but because we need it.
