“Surrender to what is.  Let go of what was.  Have faith in what will be.”

September's Mindfulness Activity of the Month:

Fully Experiencing a Regular Routine
by Pocket Mindfulness

Know the feeling of doing activities do often that they almost seem robotic?  And then have trouble remembering if you even did them?  The purpose of this exercise is to learn to slow yourself down, even during everyday experiences!  We hope that you really can start to notice your routines and begin to fully live in the present moment.

For example:  When you are folding your laundry, really notice every aspect of your action.

• Notice the smells
• Notice the temperature of the clothing
• Notice your movements, how you smooth the clothes, etc.
• Notice the way you pile your clothes
• Be aware of how your muscles are moving as they fold

Don't work too hard, process and enjoy every step!  See how much you can blend the physical and the mental in even your regular activities!
