15 Mindful Minutes

For many years, I thought meditating was just too difficult – in fact, I found sitting still in silence trying to empty my mind really stressful rather than restful! I know a lot of people feel the same way. So, I was really inspired when I discovered that mindfulness doesn’t have to be done sitting in silence – you can integrate your mindfulness practice into your daily routine and still get all the benefits. Being mindful is simply committing to being present, noticing what’s going on for you in that moment (connecting with both your mind and body), and accepting whatever is going on, without judgement. Of course, you can sit and meditate to do that, but likewise, you can be present and mindful when you go about your daily routine.
