Mindfulness Guidelines
What Is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness means being fully aware of what’s happening right now-in your body, your thoughts, your surroundings-without judgment. In today’s fast-moving world, mindfulness offers us a return-to our breath, our body, and the present moment. This page is a lovingly curated collection of the tools, practices, and gentle reminders that have supported me throughout my own mindfulness journey. Whether you’re new to the practice or simply looking for fresh inspiration, I hope you find something here that brings you peace and presence.
Mindfulness Tools
Start a Mindfulness Practice
Start small: Even 2 minutes counts. Sit, breathe, and notice. That’s enough.
Use support: Start with guided meditations or soft background music. Silence will come naturally over time.
Create a ritual: Same time, same place makes it easier. Build a corner for your practice if you can.
Be kind to yourself: Your mind will wander. That’s okay. Gently return. That is the practice.
