It's Snowing! A Simple Mindfulness Practice
It's been snowing all day here in Vancouver, BC. And as I look out my big windows, I watch the snowflakes come down. As I've mentioned in previous posts, you can practice mindfulness anywhere you are. At work. At home. Sitting down while waiting for your bus or even while doing dishes. If it is snowing where you are. Take even 3 minutes out of your day and look out your window. What do you notice when you look out your window? Is there a lot of snow? Is the snow coming down heavy where you are? Do you notice the snowflakes and how big or small they are? How about their movements? Is it windy where you are? Do the flakes look like they are slowly free-falling before they hit the ground? What textures do you notice? Just take a moment to notice the snow itself. If you get distracted which is inevitable and very normal, simply come back to the practice. Over and over again for however long you plan to do it. Then once your done, take a deep breath in and slow exhale out. I hope
