MINDFULNESS MONDAY
In building from last week’s post about being still, this week we have a list of Mindfulness tasks that can be performed throughout your day, every day.
A suggestion for the week: From a mindfulness perspective try these at different times during the day.
· Do only one thing at a time, avoid multitasking.
· Notice how often during your day you get the opportunity to do nothing.
· Can you take advantage of these moments and do less?
· Notice when you fill space with mindless or busy-ing activities.
· Notice when you fill space in your mind by thinking.
· How often, outside of formal meditation, do you just sit and notice and listen?
Once we intentionally decide to spend more time in stillness, and less time mindlessly chasing movement we are able to notice that much of what we do in unnecessary. When we are not distracted by what is unnecessary, we can eventually realize that there is far more time to do the things that really matter and that there is far more space in the world than we realize. Once we begin to notice this space and allow for its presence, we will begin to notice how free, happy and content we can be even without doing a thing.
Have a great week!
