"It's easy to stop noticing the world around us. It's also easy to
lose touch with the way our bodies are feeling and to end up
living 'in our heads' – caught up in our thoughts without stopping
to notice how those thoughts are driving our emotions and
behaviour,"
"An important part of mindfulness is reconnecting with our
bodies and the sensations they experience. This means
waking up to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the
present moment. That might be something as simple as
the feel of a banister as we walk upstairs.”
"It's about allowing ourselves to see the present moment
clearly. When we do that, it can positively change the way
we see ourselves and our lives."
“Reminding yourself to take
notice of your thoughts, feelings,
body sensations and the world
around you is the first step to
mindfulness.”
