So I'm on a Mindfulness kick at the moment.

Which roughly translates to Mind, Body and Soul connected, contended and in balance.

I know, right, isn't that what I normally do?

Well, yes.

I do.

But it's like everyone has fallen off the bus.

No, seriously, like some weird ass Dr Suess book, peeps seem to have forgotten the Soul of them.  How everything works together.  That we have to work at contentment some days, that it's not going to just up and slap us on the face, with a Hello...

So I've gone back to basics.

To the Soul Truth of what I believe in, but more importantly, what I practice on a daily basis.

And some of this is Silence.

Turning down the sound of the world.

I mean, I've always been like this.  Needing solitude to recharge and rebalance, but with this world being so topsy-turvy at the moment, I've found I've needed it more.  

That if I'm not careful, I go from being super chilled and balanced to standing in a concrete room by myself, with the stereo sound so loud I want to vomit.

Hence, Mindfulness.

I know how to keep myself in balance though, I live it (mostly) on a daily basis, but I've found people are doing the sneaky, Instant Gratification lark.  I don't want to do the work myself, I'll come see you and feel good instead.

And this is where things get tricky.  That's what I'm paid for.

For you to feel better after you have spoken to me.

Unfortunately, peeps are confusing, the Mindfulness of me (Tania) , with the Mindfulness I have to do for me (you). 

So let's do a Mindfulness 101 sess:

1) Be Mindful of the food you eat.  

Food either nourishes the soul, feeds your body or makes you fat.

2) Be Mindful of the words you think.  

How you think about yourself, is what you speak to other people.

3) Be Mindful of the words you speak.  

They go into the world you live in, attaching themselves to walls and floors and sneaking into cupboards and crevices.  

Then make their home there.

4) Be Mindful and understand that everything you do makes a difference.  

There is a whole galaxy between helping someone with kindness and fixing what is not yours to fix.  Put a daily time limit of how long you will spend on the same issue.

The more days, the less minutes.

5) Be Mindful and understand that you are your own best friend.  

Then treat yourself like it.

Boom, baby.

Wishing you much love and abundance and a truly courageous heart.

T and Spirit
