Gentle reminder…💚

Allow yourself to think about this day, something that’s happened that’s good. It doesn’t have to be a magnificent thing. Maybe it’s simply a meal. Perhaps someone smiled on the subway. Maybe someone let you get in line first. Maybe you saw a baby playing. Something good. Go through your day; go through the time that’s passed. The day, a couple of hours, what happened that’s good?

When you find those, connect to the feeling that happened, for just a moment that good-­ tasting meal might’ve made you smile. The flower growing where you didn’t think it would grow might’ve given you an instant of wonder and awe. That baby laughing might’ve reminded you that life is continuing as it should in ways we don’t know. Allow yourself to connect those feelings and bring back those feelings of the good things. It’s called gratitude, gratitude.

And if it works for you, say thank you. Thank you, little miracles. Thank you, little good things. Thank you, little moments of smiling, little instances of joy, little times of happiness. Say thank you. And then take those experiences of gratitude and allow yourself to breathe them in, the gratefulness, the gratitude.

Know that as we practice looking for the good moments, looking for what to be grateful for, it becomes a habit. We see what we’re looking for. We shift our moods. We’re more in our lives at that moment. We’re living large.

New Years resolutions require effort! They mean having to ‘do’ something, strive for something. We want to be healthier, thinner, more motivated. However most fitness resolutions last about 8 days apparently! They almost set us up for failure. Why start diets and fitness regimes in the dark of winter when there’s still so much chocolate and cheese left to eat!
Perhaps we’d be better to set ourselves ‘intentions’. Perhaps the intention to look after ourselves more (which might mean trying to eat healthily or getting outside more) being kinder to ourselves (maybe not taking on too much or saying no to things we don’t really want to do) and not beating ourselves up if we don’t achieve all of the above!
In meditation when our mind wanders we gently and non-judgementally bring our awareness back to the breath. It’s the same with our intentions – if we wander away from them we can gently bring our focus back and start again. We practice compassion towards ourselves and this might be a good place to start at the beginning of this New Year!

Q) What are the benefits of mindfulness?

A) There are many benefits to practicing mindfulness and mindfulness meditation that have been documented in clinical research. Some of these benefits are –

💚 Reduction in stress levels.
💚Reduction in levels of anxiety and depression.
💚Reduction in pain levels in those with certain health conditions.
💚Improved sleep patterns and quality of sleep.
💚Improved general health and well being.

Mindfulness and mindfulness meditation also help us to deal with the general ups and downs of everyday life. Through mindfulness practices we can begin to understand how to respond to difficult life events in a calmer more balanced way rather than react to them in an automatic, habitual way.

If you think Mindfulness would benefit you then come along to our free mindfulness sessions - contact FRVF for details on how to book.
I look forward to seeing you there 💚
