Mindfulness Monday – Moments
“In this moment, there is plenty of time.
In this moment, you are precisely as you should be.
In this moment, there is infinite possibility.”
~Victoria Moran
“The best way to capture moments is to pay attention.
This is how we cultivate mindfulness.
Mindfulness means being awake.
It means knowing what you are doing.”
~Jon Kabat-Zinn
Mindfulness Monday – 33
“Don’t believe everything you think.
Thoughts are just that – thoughts.”
~ Allan Lokos
“Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed,
recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis;
because both are ourselves.
The tangerine I am eating is me.
The mustard greens I am planting are me.
I plant with all my heart and mind.
I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath.
Nothing should be treated more carefully than anything else.
In mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard green plant, and teapot are all sacred.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Mindfulness Monday – Health
“Health is a large word.
It embraces not the body only,
but the mind and spirit as well;…
and not today’s pain or pleasure alone,
but the whole being and outlook of a man.”
~ James H. West
“The secret of health for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
not to worry about the future,
or not to anticipate troubles,
but to live the present moment
wisely and earnestly.”
~Siddartha Guatama Buddha

Mindfulness Monday – 31 Rumi
“Do not worry that your life is turning upside down.
How do you know that the side you are used to
is better than the one to come?”
~Rumi
“If you only say one prayer in a day, make it
‘Thank you’.”
~Rumi
Mindfulness Monday 30 – Beginnings
“We turn not older with years
but newer every day.”
~ Emily Dickenson
“So I close my eyes to old ends
and open my heart to new beginnings.”
~Nick Frederickson
“There are far better things ahead
than any we leave behind.”
~C.S. Lewis
Mindfulness Monday 29
“Did I offer peace today?
Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?
Did I say words of healing?
Did I let go of my anger and resentment?
Did I forgive?
Did I love?
These are the real questions.”
~Henri Nouwen
“Peace is accepting today,
releasing yesterday,
and giving up the need to control tomorrow.”
~Lori Deschene
Mindfulness Monday 27 – Anxiety
Sometimes the best thing you can do is
not think,
not wonder,
not imagine,
not obsess.
Just breathe,
and have faith
that everything will work out for the best.
~unknown
When you try to control everything,
you enjoy nothing.
Sometimes you just need to relax, breathe, let go,
and just live in the moment.
~ unknown
