Our ability to make plans with a fair degree of certainty that those plans will come to fruition. The joy we get from pursuing our hobbies, spending time with friends and relatives, and even working. Spin classes, running, playing with your children, or being active become part of…

Moving Mindfully Through Life: 5 Ways to Help Bring Positivity to our Days

Comments 0 Comment

Read it here as published in The Mindful Word As consistently as the ticking of a clock marking time, we ourselves move as the second hand of a clock through our lives. Sometimes we move more jerkily through our day, and other times we move more smoothly, like the sweeping hand of a mechanical watch. When things are not moving smoothly, it’s too easy to become frustrated and annoyed, and those feelings carry throughout the entire day. Each negative event builds…
