"Mindfulness meditation doesn't change life.

Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever.

Meditation changes the heart's capacity to accept life as it is."

~ Sylvia Boorstein

Let's start out this month with

a brief refresher on Mindful living.

I know I can always use this helpful

reminder;

and I hope you enjoy it too.

7 pillars of Mindfulness Practice

non-judging

patience

beginner's mind

trust

non-striving

acceptance

letting go

✔Non-judging.

My definition of Mindfulness, is

"awareness of the present moment without judging";

resist the temptation to label something as good or bad.

✔Patience- Accept the moment as it is without rushng.

 Learning to be patient with ourselves

and others, is a key component. I get lots

of practice while driving! 😂

✔Beginner's Mind- is where we reclaim our sense of wonder,

and open-ness at ordinary things. I especially like to

do this on my morning walks. That way

I get to see the world with fresh eyes.

✔Trust- Learning to develop a deep trust in yourself, your emotions and feelings. Cultivate reliance on your own intuition.

✔Non-Striving- This is very helpful as I don't force myself

to be anything I'm not. No comparison to anyone else's journey

and everything gets done in its time. (far different

from when I was in the corporate world)

✔Acceptance- Allowing people to be exactly as they are

and not trying to change them. Once I realized that

I can only change myself; that was a turning point for me.

✔Letting go- Release your attachment to certain experiences,

(past or present) and allowing yourself to be in the moment. 

Try these for yourself and let me know!

I can't give you inner peace,

but I CAN help you discover it within yourself!

Wishing you an amazing week, filled with love, peace and joy.

love, cathie
