Wishing you a great Mindfulness Day!
Mindfulness is the energy of awareness. It’s being conscious of the existing moment. Of living life deeply throughout each day and being fully alive, right here, right now. It is connecting with what we do and also with what and who is around us.
Jon Kabat-Zinn puts it a bit better
‘Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; on purpose, in the present moment and non judgmentally’
The most precious gift, we can offer others is our presence.
When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Have an awesome, mindful day!

Thank you very much ! 🙂
What a great reminder Ute. Thank you!
Thank you very much for letting me know. You are very much appreciated !!!
“Unconditional acceptance”… Of persons or of ideas? Although I cannot unconditionally ‘accept’ ideas, i.e. validating them as truth, it is my desire to unconditionally accept and love the person. Sometimes people feel that rejecting their idea or belief means rejecting them, and while it may feel that way at times, that is not necessarily the case.
I do like the quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn, keeping in mind, too, that we all make judgments and form opinions, but we should avoid making negative judgments which render a condemning verdict and mindfully pay attention, on purpose, in the present, looking for the positive. 🙂
I agree with you about rejecting ideas and not the person as it is not always the case.
Thank you for your interesting commetn Rene. Enjoy your mindful day!

Thanks for explaining this Ute.
Wouldn’t be wonderful if we had the possibility to live as we learn – live like every day was the last – wouldn’t we all like to dance, laugh … embrace – but our everyday is mostly in the way. Great post.
You are so right, living mindful is a good step towards that though!
Living mindful … ???!!! I hope I’m – but I’m not totally sure, not every day. *smile
It is good to remind yourself from time to time!
