Give yourself permission to slow down in life.  Stop the endless striving and allow yourself to simply be in the present moment.  Practice kindness for yourself regularly with mindful eating, mindful walking and mindful relaxation.  When mindfulness becomes a habit, life is simply more beautiful.

As you notice subtle changes in the world around you and the cycles of life through changing seasons, you develop greater appreciation for everything and everyone.  This includes yourself.  You appreciate your body more, the changing sensations within and the energy it provides you to accomplish what is important to you.  The practice of mindfulness is truly the greatest gift you could ever give yourself!
