Welcome with a 5 step countdown!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. In this blog you will find tips and tools for incorporating mindfulness into your every day life.  Mindfulness is often seen as a long and involved process, which makes it difficult for many people to work into their daily schedules. In reality it is about slowing down for minutes at a time, to bring in a sense of peace and wellbeing, even in chaos. 

There is no magic wand to wave, that suddenly makes you a Zen person, rather it is a series of decisions and responses that can make your day go smoother.  

Scenario: Work has become overwhelming and you have 20 things on your to do list before you can even think of kicking your feet up.

1. Write the list down
2. Ask yourself: What can wait until tomorrow? What can I delegate to someone else? What am I doing that SHOULD be done by someone else? Then take steps to re-allocate those items
3. Appreciate everything you have already done
4. Take 30-60 seconds to close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply
5. Set a reasonable end time to achieve your daily list and when that time comes rest and do something for yourself. If you have to go back and finish the list later, that is fine, but at least you will have worked in some me time!
