Slowness, stillness, stability
Do you know that feeling of a distracted busy mind? That 'noise' leads us to act on autopilot, using shortcuts in the brain rather than being fully present. We get stuck in patterns of behaviour such as worry and feeling chronically 'stressed.'
The antidote to that is slowing, paying attention to what is going on in our bodies and around us. We strengthen these brain pathways of experiencing, of being in the present moment. We access stillness, connect with our bodies, and find stability. That is what mindfulness is. To find out more have a look at my website link below - www.everudkinmindfulness.co.nz...
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
