Mindfulness

Seven Attitudes of Mindfulness - Mindfulness means to be aware, awake, alive, attentive and receiving as we move through our day. If we are brittle, oblivious, disjointed, stressed, or nervous, at least being aware of these states and having a bit of compassion for ourselves can ease our distress. This list is a reminder of another way to be in our world:
1. Non-judging
2. Patience
3. Beginner's mind (be open to more learning and remember what it was like when we were first learning the new stuff)
4. Trust
5. Non-striving
6. Accepting
7. Letting go
These 7 state of mind attributes are an advantageous way to carry yourself.
