I love this quote reminding us to cut back on ‘hustle’. When we get in a hustling and bustling frame of mind we can get a very long way away from being mindful and conscious of our bodies and our surroundings.

More magic here from Art Bachwald. Enjoying our friends, taking the time to enjoy peaceful moments and using our imaginations are amongst the best things in life.

I need this reminder often. Is our busy work our most productive work? Or are we ‘keeping busy’ to avoid dealing with how we feel or to avoid making changes that are scary but will help us to grow?

Oh yes! Dwelling on what we have to be grateful for helps us look for and appreciate more the positive things that we have in our lives.

At the heart of the Coronavirus pandemic sometimes the only thing I could find to be grateful for was that my little family were all still breathing and under my roof. So that is what I focused on, loking after what I could.

Simplicity, it goes hand in hand with mindfulness, stopping the hustle, and slowing down to appreciate the small things.

And finally this quote from JRR Tolkien. Celebrate your simple life. Your family, your friends, and your home.
