Press the “pause” button
Try using interruptions to remind you to pause and tune in to the present moment in your day-to-day life...
Let your stories go
If you notice yourself weaving stories about what might happen in the day ahead, take a step back from your thoughts.
Worry less about perfection
Practise quietly noticing some of the ‘imperfect’ things outside your control (like a delayed train or bus) without struggle.
Let the moment in
If you notice your mind filling with thoughts (you need to do this, worry about that, fix the world), pause for a moment to turn the volume down!
Look after yourself
Remember that you ‘can’t pour from an empty jug’!You need to nurture yourself and your resources if you want to be able to help others.
Step out of worry
If you notice yourself worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet, take your attention to the soles of your feet...
Be kind to yourself
Write a list of the things that nourish you – then be kind to yourself at least once a day, using your list as inspiration!
