Practicing Mindfulness


Today, I will practice mindfulness. 

 

When I become aware I am operating on automatic cruise control and robotically going through the motions, I will affirm myself for recognizing what’s happening. 



When I find myself lost in the replay of past events and filling my mind with ‘I should have’s’ or blaming and judging, I will push the stop button on the movie reel.  Then choose to pause, breathe and ground myself in the here and now.


When I notice I am focused on what might happen in the future and frightening myself with an overload of ‘what if’s’, I will gently nurture myself with reassurance and bring my attention back to the present moment. 




I want to live my life NOW and choose to consciously open the door to peace, love, and happiness.
