What does your mindfulness practice look like?
My mindfulness practice begins with my habits. I've learned that what I do and why I do it influences my subsequent decisions. I start my mornings by making tea, listening to Lo-Fi, and stepping outside to the sun on my skin. This prepares a posture of thankfulness and intention and informs what I do and my mindset for the rest of the day. Appreciation and intention are the centerpieces of my mindfulness routine
