How to Read Mindfully…
- Get centered — Take a moment to just notice your body here, noticing any tension and seeing if you can choose to let that tension go.
- Read the quote twice — Reading it twice allows it to settle in a bit more
- Allow the words to simmer — Close your eyes and see if you can let the words roll around and notice what arises for you physically, emotionally and mentally.
- Bring your mind back if it wanders — You may notice the mind going off into thoughts of what you need to be doing or judgments such as “how is this going to be helpful to me?”
- Come back to the breath – Thank yourself for taking this time-out of your daily busy-ness to engage with this mindful inquiry for your health and well-being.
