Mindfulness by an #actionforhappiness supporter Tenzin YW:
A Gentle Tool for Tough Moments
Mindfulness is simply paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and actions without judging them. It helps us notice what’s happening with a little more ease and kindness.
When difficult thoughts or emotions take over, it’s easy to spiral or feel drained. Mindfulness offers a way to pause, step back, and respond with more clarity and calm. It’s been shown to support stress, anxiety, low mood, and even symptoms like fatigue or breathlessness.
The more we practice mindfulness, the more it strengthens our sense of calm, resilience, and presence. Even small moments of awareness can brighten our day and help us feel more grounded.
Here’s to meeting ourselves with kindness, one mindful moment at a time. 🙏🏼

One of the prohibitions many of us learned in childhood is the unspoken rule Don’t have fun and enjoy life. This rule creates martyrs—people who will not let themselves embrace the pleasures of day-to-day living.
Many of us associated suffering with some sort of sainthood. Now, we associate it with codependency. We can go through the day making ourselves feel anxious, guilty, miserable, and deprived. Or we can allow ourselves to go through that same day feeling good. In recovery, we eventually learn the choice is ours.
There is much to be enjoyed each day, and it is okay to feel good. We can let ourselves enjoy our tasks. We can learn to relax without guilt. We can even learn to have fun.
Work at learning to have fun. Apply yourself with dedication to learning enjoyment. Work as hard at learning to have fun as you did at feeling miserable.
Our work will pay off. Fun will become fun. Life will become worth living. And each day we’ll find many pleasures to be enjoyed.
Today, I will let myself enjoy life as I go through my day.

Richard PascoeMany of us have been unkind to ourselves at times, particularly when something hasn't gone the way we thought it would. Be kind to yourself, like you would be to others. #actionforhappiness #mindfulness #selfcare
Tonight, try to turn off your tech - be it mobile, tablet, laptop or e-reader - an hour before bedtime and relax in a different way to see the difference it can make! #actionforhappiness #mindfulness #selfcare
