I did my own little mindfulness practice on a walk this morning with my son. It was hot already and I wanted to rush him, get to our destination and pull of the the air-conditioned room and promised sparling water as quickly as possible. And then I stopped myself. And I slowed. And I listened to the birds chirping nearby, and the distant rumble of cars, and the wind in the leaves above me. I didn't rush my son, and it made the walk that much better!
I actually don’t remember the last time I felt whole with myself let alone my partner. Feeling disconnected from myself makes me despise the thought of pleasure in any form.
I teach kids every day to breathe, listen and find calm but I rarely do it myself any more.
I will try hard to do it this week, I know how rewarding it can be
I love that you're committed to trying to find some moments of presence this week. It really is the fastest way to reconnect with your body and find pleasure.
