The word “mindfulness” has been around for some time and means living in the moment. An old saying reminds us to stop and smell the roses. Society has created a movement around this concept. Morning news shows, podcasts, and classes frequently share ideas on how to embrace mindfulness. Yet, the reality of our fast-paced lives often leaves little time to explore mindfulness beyond our daily tasks. A practical approach would be to weave mindfulness into what we already do.
