Pause and intentionally bring attention to the next 3 breaths

Please note that as I will be out of the country for most of April with limited access to email, April 1 will mark the beginning of a pause in the sending out of these reminders until the beginning of May.
Pausing is foundational to the practice of mindfulness, an opportunity to check in, take a closer look, and consciously choose a response to what is observed.
This April pause may be an opportunity for you to reflect on your mindfulness practice.
What is your motivation for practicing mindfulness?
What conditions support your practice?
What gets in the way?
What other ways might remind you to be aware of where your attention is directed, and to intentionally shift your attention into the present moment when needed?
If your intention is to practice mindfulness in a formal way (such as breath awareness, sensory awareness and/or body sensation awareness practices while sitting, standing, walking and/or moving) what additional ways might you support this intention?
Tomorrow’s daily reminder will include some suggestions and resources to consider.
Wishing you a mindful evening
