““Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.”

This is the exact definition of “mindfulness practice”.

THE MOST important part:

“being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment”

This can be done ANYTIME. ANYWHERE. Any position, any place, literally implement into everything.

The key for me, is to pause, and redirect your mind to this moment.

This morning while I was making tea, I like to put the honey first, then the hot water. Give that a stir, and when the honey is fully melted, I take note of the golden color the water has become. I sniff that honey sweet goodness, before adding my tangerine tea bag. Then I give the bag a few dunks, and waft that aroma, of tangerine and honey. BAM a smile breaks upon my face, and a calmness floods my body before even taking a sip. Then I get to sip, and a whole new emotion bursts inside of me. Sparks of excitement, sweetness, citrus lifting deliciousness!

THAT right there, is a form of meditation.

I like to implement this tea scenario, into everything I do. The moment my mind strays, I make a mistake with what I’m doing right in front of me, or stub my toe, or drop something. Instant karma for a mindfulness coach 😆

This proves to me the power of mindfulness, the power of attention, the power of focus.

Try this simple practice inside of your day today. A great place to start, is with your foods and drinks. Because with that, you have all encompassing smells, tastes, textures, visuals and more.

An easy way to get your mind trained into mindfulness is by incorporating each of your senses, bringing you fully into what’s in front of you.

This is also a great grounding practice and anxiety attack relieving practice.

ACTIVATE THE SENSES.
DEACTIVATE THE STRESS.

Something I’ve come to learn these last couple of years now that I’ve emerged from my healing cave and am letting good, healthy people into my life. Always take personal inventory! Multiple times a day even! 🥰

Self care is NOT selfish.

Getting your “life” together, is an absolutely overwhelming thing to think about.

You’ve got these overall goals you want to accomplish, financial tasks to be straightened, creative endeavors, socialization etc etc.

Thinking of all of this at the same time, will have you prioritizing these goals based off of what society deems most important.

But let’s say those goals, are too big for you right now. How can you get your license back and get a new job, when your clothes are still in piles on the floor?

You count yourself out, when your immediate surroundings do not support your motivation.

It’s like tossing water on your fire 🔥.

Can’t find the shirt you were so excited to wear today? You’ve already fizzed your flame settling for another shirt.

These things ARE important. You need all the fuel you can get!

The pictures below, are of my own clothes. Looking at this every morning started my day, digging through for something to wear to work, already fizzed my flame a bit. Not knowing if the outfits I loved so much were left behind in my move, or just under this nest.

So I came up with a plan.

Problem: I do not have a closet, and I move a lot.
Solution: lightweight, easy assemble and disassemble, wheeled clothing rack.

Problem: my clothes have large necks, and very fragile material
Solution: velvet lined hangers to hold them snug and not create those dreaded 80s shoulder points in all my t-shirts 🤣

Problem: this is a lot to do at once
Solution: take your time, do a little when you have the mental strength and energy ( this transformation took me about 2-3 weeks to complete)

After getting this under way, and clearing the floor space, I then all of a sudden had this burst of motivation to VACUUM TOO! And the kicker: I WANTED TO!

When we accomplish the smaller tasks in our lives first, we fuel the fire of motivation inside of us for the larger ones ☺️

It’s like a Mario video game, collect enough stars/coins , get a boost of power!

Most importantly: be gentle with yourself. If your starting at the bottom, don’t look up to the top, but rather the ladder step right in front of you, and soon enough you’ll reach the top ☺️

Much love,
