When we try to practise awareness of our breathing in mindfulness we sometimes make it into hard work, concentrating fiercely. Instead, try to relax into awareness of your breathing for a few minutes. When you notice your mind has wandered off, relax into awareness again.
Try: When today could you spend a little time practising ‘mindfulness without effort’?

New book on the way: Acceptance - Create Change and Move Forward
|
|
|
I am very pleased to say that my new book, Acceptance - create change and move forward, will be published next March by Yellow Kite Books. As the title suggests, acceptance clears a space for movement either regarding what we've accepted or by giving us space for other activities. Chapter headings include: Accepting Uncertainty; Accepting Our Bodies, Sexuality and Gender; Acceptance and relationships, during and after;Acceptance In Conflict; The Acceptance Dynamic.
You can pre-order at this link.

"The daily bell sets me up for the day. I read it on waking and it helps me to start my day in a positive, kind, compassionate way. I remind myself all the time about what I read. It is a great help in self regulation." KL
