an initiative for pockets of mindfulness in your day

Move a finger. A limb. Feel your weight by shifting it from one foot to the other, or from one side of your seat to the other. Imagine joints moving around within you to create new shapes out of your torso and limbs. Sway with the wind. What is your body telling you? Is there energy that needs to get out? Is there exhaustion? You may have forgotten about something that your body remembers. Take time to remind yourself of you, and move.

Hopefully there’s decent walking weather where you are. With each paced step, inhale and exhale in sync. Feel the ground support you, and feel the rhythmic, repetitive movement of your feet. Bring to the surface of your mind where these feet have been the past hours, and imagine where they’re headed. Breathe in and exhale with a gentle smile with gratitude for the journey you’re on this moment.
