Already I feel I’m getting to notice more. I’m loving the
book my friend sent me – she’d spoken to me before about mindfulness – how we
can sometimes munch through a meal and are so busy doing something else at the
same time (yup, that’s me!) that we don’t even really notice what we’re eating,
we certainly don’t savour each mouthful. That to be mindful means bringing our
awareness to what we are doing/feeling. And so I’m beginning to pay more
attention to how soft or hard surfaces feel. To appreciate more the flavour and
texture of the food that is sustaining me.
I tried the first practical exercise last night and still
have waaaaay to go – my mind doesn’t just wander, it gallops at an incredible
speed, bringing to mind people, situations, things I have to do… However, I’m
not at all discouraged cos the book is one of self affirmation. And after a fab
day of connecting with wonderful people, I very much enjoyed trying to connect
with myself too. I hope you take a moment or two today to notice just how amazing you are too…
