MOVING MINDFULLY CREATES CALM

Practicing Mindfulness.35 Daily Mindfulness Moments to create calm
Practicing to focus your attention during everyday moments.
Bringing your attention into focus throughout the day is what is often referred to as “being in the present moment.”
This week, practice bringing your attention into focus, during these everyday moments, starting from Morning through to Evening.
Note: You will periodically notice that you have forgotten to bring awareness to the forefront of what you are doing, which is perfectly normal at first, so be patient with yourself as you move through the exercise
