A growing body of research is showing that mindfulness can reduce stress, improve physical health, and improve ones overall quality of life. Jan Chozen Bays, MDphysician and Zen teacherhas developed a series of simple practices to help us cultivate mindfulness as we go about our ordinary, daily lives. Exercises include: taking three deep breaths before answering the phone, noticing and adjusting your posture throughout the day, eating mindfully, and leaving no trace of yourself after using the kitchen or bathroom. Each exercise is presented with tips on how to remind yourself and a short life lesson connected with it.

Short, easy to read chapters, each a specific idea for mindfulness practice. Makes mindfulness an accessible concept and gave me ideas for use in my own life as well as with my patients.

Started this one during a work break today. Seemed like a good time to start.

Two weeks of visiting family/overnight guests can get to be a bit much for this introvert... 😛 But so grateful for all of you lovely friends - Litsy has provided many mini-moments of refuge lately!! I look forward to setting some reading goals (like so many of you have - so many great ideas!) when things settle down at my house in a few days. In the meantime, I'm trying to sneak in a few pages of this when I can. Happy New Year to you all! 🎉🍾🎊
