mindfulness

through my yin yoga practice over the last few years i have truly learned mindfulness. in those minutes, in that hour, i can truly focus on my breath while thoughts come into and out of my mind without judgement of myself or others.
in those moments i feel whole, confident, and content.
when i miss those practices because i let other things get in the way i feel it in all aspects of my life.
however, i should not let missing those yoga classes affect my mindfulness practice…mindfulness can be practiced without yoga.
mindfulness can be practiced every day.
each moment.
as best you can.

So easy to say (or write) but often so difficult to do. 🙂 No doubt, being mindful (and truly present at what I am doing at that time instead of trying to do multiple things at once) is an area of my life I would like to improve upon.
