Morning all and Happy Sunday, I hope the sun is shining where you are, seems odd to see it here in the Pacific NW.

We’ve talked here about what Mindfulness is in several posts:

What it isn’t | Who exhibited it | Using Gratitude as a Tool

For the most part we have talked about using meditation and breath as a way to cultivate mindfulness yet our Friend over at The Middle Way has posted a fantastic list of cultivating it in many ways. Please check out the blog post here to see the full descriptions, the summarized list is below:

1. Take a breath
2. Smile in public (I’d also add “smile to yourself all the time”)
3. Spot your moods and how moods affect your life
4. Feel your body, how it is
5. Eat mindfully
6. Notice when entering a new space
7. Try feeling any jewelry you are wearing, as often as possible
8. Let the phone ring a big, breathe first

If you have other suggestions, head over the The Middle Way and post a comment.
