The Positivity Project. Are you too busy for mindfulness?

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Thanks Ferris, I do agree with you!

 

 

I was reminded of this while kicking the footy at the park. The autumn season means the grass is green and sweet.  The sky is  a beautiful clear blue and the air is crips and clean. In this moment, I took a breath, slow and deliberate. For this present moment I was acutely mindful of how fortunate I am to be here. I took another breath and then moved on.

Later in the busy-ness day the feeling of being in the park came back to me. A feeling of calmness, warmth and gratitude. In  that moment, I smiled.

Have you come across the Smiling Mind App? I am a big fan, it has age related guided meditations (suitable for little ones and older ones) and is free. It is a valuable tool to use to improve mindful well-being.

I use it my personal and professional life and find it a helpful resource when learning to be mindful.

At The Positivity Project we teach the skills of mindfulness to students, teachers and parents.

If you have a moment, check it out and let me know what you think.

Positive Vibes,

James.
