How to be Mindful in your Daily Life
1. Allow and accept the different feelings you experience – knowing these will change throughout the day.
2. Don’t judge yourself for having negative feelings.
3. Don’t believe every thought that pops into your head. Some of these are true, but many will be false.
4. Slow down and take life at a manageable pace.
5. Stay in the present; do one thing at a time.
6. Let go of the need to control everything.
7. Practise being curious; notice little things.
8. Use your 5 senses to become more aware of what is happening all around you in the world.
9. Nourish and take care of your body and mind.
10. Practice contentment and gratitude.
Do not let your past ruin your future. The new opportunities showing up now are in alignment with the soul. In the past we had so many karmic lessons to clear, but things are different now. Trust your journey and take a leap of faith as these new situations are emerging.
