The greatest thing about practicing mindfulness or being mindful is that it is so easy. You don’t have to sit and cross your legs and go mmmmm for hours. If you have never taken the time to practice mindfulness, let me warn you about the hardest part of it. The hardest and most difficult thing will be making yourself stop, pause, and just do it.
Being mindful is the simple act of pausing and being in the moment. Being aware and observing something. However, we are so busy with our lives, getting things done, and dealing with issues, that taking the moment to pause and be still, even just for a brief moment, can be very difficult.
The purpose of this series is to provide you with examples that you could try for yourself to practice being mindful even in just a few seconds. If you choose to try it for yourself you may find that not only is it easy. It’s also relaxing and at times a great way to clear your mind so you can better get the things done that you want to do or come up with solutions for dealing with the issues you are dealing with.
Roze has some flowers planted around the house and mother nature has thrown some of her own in as well. Lately, I have noticed they have started blooming. So I have been taking a moment here and there to walk around the yard checking out Roze’s bloomers. I took a few pictures so let’s check them out.
The above images; the first one is called Blue Bells which I found one day out back behind some bushes. Dug them and gave most of them to a neighbor of mine that has a huge flower garden in her front yard. The rest I planted around the house where they can be better seen and appreciated. The second image is called Columbine which comes in many colours but ours have these beautiful purple and white flowers. The 3rd are called Johnny-Jump-ups and right now they are growing in the grass by our front door. The front yard is just covered with them.
By the way, just so you know I’m not a gardener so if, perhaps, I got any of the names wrong or maybe they have another name feel free to share in the comments.
The below images: The flowers that are blooming in the first photo are Daffodils. We have an old water pump with a bunch of rocks around it and the Daffodils decided to grow up through them. The second image is buttercups that grow wild in many people’s yards. Our back yard is full of them even though I cut the grass less than a week ago. Also, most kids love them and love to pick them for their mothers. When I was a kid we would pluck one and hold it under a friend/sibling’s chin to see if they liked butter. If it reflects yellow under their chin then they do like butter. A silly little game but I’m sure many of us have done it. The last image is yellow tulips that my grandmother planted many many years ago under the living room window.
Well, that was fun. Hope it inspires you to find things in nature to pause and take notice. Life can be stressful so make sure to take a minute to enjoy something in the moment. If you live somewhere that is winter perhaps take time to appreciate an indoor plant.
Thanks for joining us here at Razzworks and we look forward to seeing you again. Until next time, remember, keep on going and keep on growing.
