Taking stock..


 

Do you make time in your day to take stock—to simply stop for a moment? Mindfulness has become a buzzword in countless contexts; even my watch prompts me at certain times to “be mindful.” But at its heart, being mindful is about becoming—becoming you. 

 Mindfulness can be simple and practical: pausing for a few moments on a walk to truly see what’s around you, taking a breath before opening an email, feeling your feet on the floor while you wait for the kettle to boil or stand on the train, or taking one or two calming breaths before responding to someone. These tiny moments of taking stock add up. They create space in your mind, quieting the constant pull of the to-do list and the demands of daily life. Even a few seconds of pause can offer a little more clarity—and sometimes even a little more compassion for yourself and for others.
