This is it

This is where it all begins. A journey into mindfulness. A journey into teaching in a way I’ve never taught before. Maybe you’ll be feeling the same way the first time you teach mindfulness to someone. Maybe in a classroom, at home, at work, on a busy bus, at a restaurant. Maybe it’ll be something you’ve never done before. In a way I’ve done this before hundreds of time, but this is different. So different and so exciting and a little bit scary. It’s not an adventure if it’s not a little bit scary to get out there and actually do it.

This is step one to mindfulness: no self judgement. Eventually this will grow into no judgement of others but not judging yourself can be immensely challenging. Take a breath. Let it allll go and see what is in front of you right now. Which is me, writing this blog post to the world - a first tentative tip toe into opening myself up to you. All of you. An invitation into who I am, and who we will become together.

Take a breath. Breathe in all the excitement. All the joy. All the anticipation for what’s yet to come - the good or bad, no judgement here remember. And breath out the past. Breathe out the future. Sit in it all right now. Really settle into it. You’re a stone in a river, everything rushing by. Welcome to your new now.
