Mindfulness
The practice of what is happening in the here and now.
Running or walking
Deep cleansing breaths
Aware of the sound of your feet as they touch the ground
Shopping at the grocery store
What do I still need to get?
A deep breath in and exhale
I am mindful of those around me
The distinct noise of children and adults passing through; laughing and talking
The sound is clear but not distracting
I am mindful in the precise moment of now
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is not promised
I remind myself of this in the private sanctuary of my inner thoughts
This is the practice of mindfulness
This is now
I take a deep cleansing breath and remember I am almost out of toothpaste
I am grateful for my mind has not wandered back to yesterday or what will happen tomorrow
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is not promised
This is the practice of mindfulness
I step outside and welcome the calm wind brushing my hair away from my face
A deep cleansing breath reminds of life
I am grateful for now
I am grateful for the practice of mindfulness
