Bringing Mindfulness to Life
We have all been there! Planning something and expecting it to go, for the most part, as planned. Yet it doesn’t. How we choose to react to what is happening as it unfolds matters greatly. Seeing through the lens of curiosity when things are not going as planned can allow for a positive shift in perspective and often generates surprising and effective outcomes.
Too often we are hard on ourselves for making mistakes. When we bring self-compassion to human error, we can open to the understanding that there is always something to learn from our mistakes that can bring positive growth to our lives.
Grief is never easy, nor is it predictable. Whether we are being present to the grief of another or walking through our own, a tender and patient response is invited. Deeply woven into the fabric of life, grief is an inevitable part of being human. If we allow it, sharing this universal emotion can invite the gifts of connection, compassion, gratitude and love.
