Mindfulness is all about awareness. We cultivate our capacity to see more clearly SO THAT we can make choices that bring us closer to wellbeing.

Here’s a mindfulness practice where you pay closer attention to what things nourish you and what things deplete you. Once you discern what these things are, you can begin setting small goals to do less depleting activities and more nourishing ones. For example, I’m getting up early now to do my morning meditation, have my coffee and do some stretches as these are nourishing and give me energy☕️🧘‍♀️🙆‍♀️

What is one thing that takes your energy and one thing that gives you energy? 🤷‍♀️☺️🙅‍♀️

Thanks for the repost ❤️

"For more than 500 years, pottery in Japan has found a new lease of life through kintsugi, the traditional Japanese art form of sealing cracks with lacquer and gold powder. This technique of repair embodies the wabi-sabi aesthetic, which embraces the beauty in imperfection."

"In a few words, one could say that wabi sabi (侘寂) is the beauty of imperfect things. In Japan, wabi sabi is imperceptible but everywhere: a crack on a teapot, the wood of an old door, green moss on a rock, a misty landscape, a distorted cup or the reflection of the moon on a pond. Andrew Juniper defines wabi sabi as "an intuitive appreciation of ephemeral beauty in the physical world that reflects the irreversible flow of life in the spiritual world.” Source: What is Wabi Sabi? The Elusive Beauty of Imperfection https://japanobjects.com/features/wabi-sabi

"In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.."
