Our focus for this month is being ‘Mindful in May’.
Breathe in, breathe out – feel the flow of the breath.

New to mindfulness? Try out these simple starting points:

  • Pay attention to all of your senses – notice the taste, texture of food
  • Empty the mind – take a few moments to be still
  • As soon as the mind wanders, bring it back to your breath
  • Practice non-judgmental listening
  • Go outdoors – walk around in nature
  • Forgive yourself for every negative thought
  • Be grateful – say thank you to nature, people and things
  • Go easy on yourself – with time, you will see the progress!

Read the above… take the time… mindfulness is magic.

Mindfulness a way of training yourself to focus your attention in a certain way to calm your mind. It can help you in your day-to-day life, work, relationships and overall wellbeing.
