Daily Mindfulness Exercise
I try and do a mindfulness exercise every day, These end up being whatever feels good in the moment. I’m sharing one here as an example, and also a reminder to myself. This is one I stumbled into recently that I enjoyed very much.
I sat down in my journal and with no pre-conceived notion of what I wanted to say, I simply wrote whatever came to mind as slowly as I could. Slowing down was hard. The goal was to fill the page with whatever thoughts came to me. Doing that slowly was difficult. It made me realize how often we rush thoughts out without really considering them thoroughly before we release them on the world. During this reflection I also realized how often I interrupt others when we are conversion. The exercise gave me some valuable insight, worth working on.
