I have succumbed to the tendency to package the
unpackagable. I have managed to put mindfulness in all its infinity
possibilities into a collection from A - Z. Well not quite, but here is a collection
of postings from a year of blogging, which have a mindfulness thread
running throughout.
Themes such as being present, aware, attentive and non judging are explored as ways of being and doing which encourage us to expand our choices as to how we view and respond to life itself, so that we may live in a more peaceful, creative and sustainable way.

A = Awareness
is the core of mindfulness. This posting offers a 5 minute self
assessment for you to increase your awareness about your day to day mindfulness.
B = Breathing - when we bring our attention to the thing that is always present with us, our breath, we come into the present
C = Connecting with
others in a meaningful way involves being present
D = Doors; those which we open and close through our every
day actions and behaviours
E = Enjoy life’s
journey, with all its ups, downs and paradoxes as encouraged by Dr Seuss
F = Formia
provides lessons in letting the day unfold
G = Giving
to others, being here to serve, is ultimately our role in life

...helps us to tap into our hearts
I = Intuition, our deep knowing is there for us
if we learn to access, trust and use it

and Julia provide inspiration to follow our hearts

your organisation and being courageous enough to talk about it
M = Mindful
walking brings us into the moment step by step
N = Notice
your sensations and thoughts and …notice what you are pretending not to notice
O = Opposites
can also be true. Mindfulness expands our ability to see new perspectives

open up our minds and hearts

ourselves to come to the present and that happiness is here

and interconnectivity
U =
Understanding that ‘any map will do’ – it is your exploration that matters
V = VUCA and
VUCA revamped can create a more holistic, creative, courageous and sustainable view
W = Work in progress – reminding us that we are
such, is itself an act of self compassion
X = X as a
point (only because it was difficult to find something starting with X!) –
using appreciative inquiry from wherever you start from
Y = Yes
and…! We can expand our options through one
word
Z = Zzzz…sleep is a sign of harmony
