Haha I love this. Learning #mindfulness is like weight training for the brain. Overtime you find yourself naturally becoming mindful instead of forcing yourself to try and truly stay in a moment. Mindfulness can be difficult especially for the creative and goal focused brain. It's important to remember that planning for the future is a beautiful thing, as long as you keep both feet planted in the present. And of course the past is of no service here. ❤️ If you want a little calm in the day try this exercise. Set a timer and just stand still for 5 minutes. I use a 5 minute hourglass. Don't lock your knees. Just stand there with no movement but your breath. 5 minutes a day on the art of standing still. You will not believe how uncomfortable you feel at first, and then you begin to crave this stillness as part of your daily routine. Stillness leads to mindfulness and appreciation rather than a cycle of daily complaint. Have a beautiful day, love bugs!!! ❤️❤️❤️ #TheSymbolicLife
