Midway through this month, I identified a useful and gentle theme - Mindfulness. In this busy world of multi tasking, we are inundated with surround sounds from the beeps of a garbage truck backing up, car horns unpredictable blaring, our telephones - more than just telephones - telling us of …..something…email, alerts, notifications. In the midst of all of these noises, each that have their own place, we have our own distractions in our homes and in our workplaces. Some of them are the same as those I’ve already indicated, however there are always extras. The coffee stain left by a colleague, incessant phones ringing that need answering, ….I’ll let you fill in the rest for yourself. We may share some of the same issues, but where work personalities are concerned there will definitely be differences. So this morning my blog post outlines some things I see as the benefits of Mindfulness in this rather mindless seeming world.
To Be Mindful
Momentary meditation
Intuitive imagining
Noticing nuance
Developing depth
Fanciful frameworks
Useful updrafts
Lengthening life
Natural names
Effective expectations
Soliciting sunshine
Strengthening silence
“Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior.
You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath
the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
