Mindfulness Minute

Choose rest instead of running on empty. It's impossible to be mindful without being well-rested.

More often than not, the ways in which life is hard for one person is invisible to another - in the same way, we may not be aware of what is truly impacting us and why.

Bad or good - every experiences is a learning opportunity about life.

Our inner voices are powerful - make sure to audit yours to see that it holds perspectives and beliefs that are empowering and healthy, rather than restrictive and cruel. Apologies for the lack of chime as I am travelling. Thank you for being here!

Sometimes, our friendships just need time and space to heal, just like romantic relationships do. Don't worry - the ebb and flow is natural.

Life isn't meant to be this repetitive, empty routine. Change something and find the magic in your daily life. Take that chance.

When you keep going back to the "bad place", memories of pain and heartbreak - be aware of it. Know that if the growth isn't happening anymore, it's okay to gently move from this place. 

Personal curriculums don't just have to be about knitting or making bread. You can set a simple goal of being more mindful through a 10 second daily meditation, or doing a 7 minute tai-chi routine. Allow yourself to be open to new learning, at a gentle, kind and enjoyable pace.

Nothing is ever delivered in one form. What you want can be achieved and fulfilled in many ways and sometimes, the true gift is in realizing that.

Fumbling and making mistakes is merely human. We all do it. There's no need to add in another heap of shame and blame on top of it. Learn from it, move forward and be better for it.
