Hello lovelies!
When we experienced a day of cloudy skies & rain during our trip, we enjoyed getting our rain coats on & getting out to experience some weather! And I captured this mindful minute to share with you, along with a reminder of Tara Brach’s RAIN practice. The acronym is a helpful way to practice mindfulness. R stands for recognise; to be aware of what’s happening in our internal weather systems, physical, mental, emotional & soul. A stands for acknowledge; accept by allowing whatever is there to be there, no judgment required. I stands for investigate; get curious about where and what we are feeling, spend time observing. N stands for nurture; exercising loving kindness in our chosen response helps us regain balance and supports our wellness.

Whatever the weather you’re experiencing right now, sending love from my place to yours ☀️☔️🌎🕊️🩵

Hello Lovelies!
Oubaitori; a fascinating Japanese word which is derived from the four blossom trees, cherry, plum, peach and apricot. Whilst all 4 trees grow in the same environment & blossom around the same time, each follows its own distinct timeline and blossoms uniquely.
Applied to human life, Oubaitori teaches us:
1. Embrace your own timeline
2. Stop unhealthy comparison
3. Celebrate your uniqueness

From my place to yours with love 💕 🌹🪻🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🥀🪷

Hello beautiful peeps! On a recent trip to Amsterdam, I enjoyed observing capturing the joy of the sunlight filtering through the trees and observing the gorgeous patterns & shapes it created. It turns out the Japanese have a specific word - komorebi - to describe what I saw & I hope you’ll enjoy seeing some of my komorebi photos 💚

Love to all 🌞💚

Hello beautiful peeps! I filmed this mindful minute yesterday, at as we dropped in (as usual) after our Saturday morning stroll. During the time we’ve been away on holiday, there have been some changes. Same friendly staff, same super menu choices. What had changed was the signage behind the service counter: Make Art Not War. What a fabulous & topical change. And the other change is there’s a super new collection of contemporary Arabic Art.
Sometimes, change is big & sometimes it is small. Mindfulness encourages us to be present & observe with kind curiosity. The only constant in life is change is an oft used quote. To live well, we are mindful not just of change but of our response to it. Pausing between observation, we can then get curious about our reaction and choose responses which are kind to ourselves and kind to others.
As we observed the signage & art, we acknowledged the positive impact and shared our gratitude with Joanne, our wonderful hostess & barista.

From my place of change to yours, with love from Debs 🩷🎨🖼️

Hello beautiful peeps! Warmest thanks to my darling daughter Katie for capturing the image for today’s ASAP Mindful Moment post.
Added to our previous look at As Soon As Possible & As Steady As Possible is today’s As Sincere As Possible. Sincerity is a beautiful quality isn’t it? When we apply it to Mindful Living, we give ourselves time to sit in quiet observation. We get curious about our inner thoughts & feelings and our outer action & words. With kindness, we can choose to adjust and re-align so that we experience a sincere, authentic living. Not only does it feel better, life flows better too.
Love to all, Debs 🕊️💚

Hello Lovely peeps! Today’s glorious mindful minute was kindly captured & shared by my darling God-daughter .tompkinson - thanks Loz 😘

Today’s mindful ASAP is a reminder that, as we go through our days, it is helpful to journey As Steady As Possible.
When we are steady, we accomplish our tasks with greater awareness and finesse, less likely to make mistakes or end up in a heap at the end of the day. When we live with conscious nurturing of steadiness, we notice sooner when we are losing balance and can more easily adjust our path.

Love and mindful well-wishes to all, may our weekend ahead be one of steadiness and filled with gratitude.

Hello beautiful peeps! Today’s glorious sunrise mindful minute was captured and shared by my darling sis .
The way we start each day is so important; it sets the course for all that lies ahead. I like how Karen’s video reminds us that being mindful first creates the spaciousness in our lives which, in turn, can greater awareness and connection.

We can choose to rise and race or rise & reflect. A moment to notice, a minute to breathe and be grateful. A time to set our daily intention to be present, to observe and choose kindness and compassion towards ourself & others.
I love this reminder from Wayne Dyer: When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
So, each day, we can choose to rise and race or we can take a mindful minute ASAP - Allow Space And Pause.

Warmest thanks dearest sis & love to all, Debs 💜🧡💚🌎🕊️
