Slow the rush of thoughts flooding your brain. You are visiting this website? Where are you, in the context of your surroundings? Are you comfortable? What can you hear?

Mindfulness is perhaps our greatest gift and the greatest gift we can give back to the planet. Think in the moment about what you’re doing. It will encourage you to slow down and enjoy what you’re doing, to get more out of life and feel in greater control. All you have to do is think about it. Drink a glass of water and remind yourself, “I am drinking a glass of water”. Think about the taste, the health benefits, the purifying goodness.

Just try and think about what you’re doing some more in your daily life, whether you’re walking, working or even stressing. Think about ‘what’ instead of ‘why’ or ‘when’. It will help you develop a quiet mind, the most powerful tool any of us can possess.
