Be More Mindful Every Day
Be More Mindful Every Day
Rather than being distracted and lost in thought, mindfulness shows us how to be present and aware.
Three simple tips for living more mindfully:
1. Walk with awareness
Without trying to change the way you’re walking, simply observe how it feels.
Pay attention to what you see, hear and smell. By becoming more aware of the physical senses, the mind naturally feels more grounded.

2. Reflect on your day to find three things you feel
grateful for.
The important thing is to acknowledge them.
Each time you do, you train the mind to be softer, calmer, kinder and happier.
