Mindfulness Minute

When we're trying to decide whether or not we should do something, we often fall into the trap of only considering the impact this action would have, but not the meaning it would hold for us.

The value of just giving things time can't be overstated.

We don't always have the time or bandwidth for complicated gratitude rituals - sometimes just remembering one tiny thing that delights us is enough.

Having a bad day? Remember a moment where you laughed. Like, really laughed. It'll help you feel a bit lighter.

Being human is hard. Some days are easier than others. Some worse. 

Fundamentally though, it's a lot of work. 

So cut yourself some slack.

Hopelessness or hopeful - how you are feeling is a reflection of how you see yourself and the world around you.

We don't stay the same. But we often expect ourselves to. 

Before we even start the day, we're bringing thoughts, emotions and expectations with us. It's important to bring awareness to these elements so we can care for ourselves throughout the day, better.

Don't shun the parts of you that you don't like - try to understand them, with patients. It's hard but needs to be done.

Never forget that a single moment or story is never enough to explain what's happening with someone. Including yourself.
