Mindful March – 2022

Let’s pause, breathe and notice, so we can respond more mindfully

“The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Personally, with what is happening in Ukraine, I struggled with writing this. I find the first action from this month’s calendar so meaningful at a time when there is so much sadness, uncertainty and unrest in these challenging times.

🌻 Set an intention to live with awareness & kindness 🌻

„Der beste Weg, sich um die Zukunft zu kümmern, ist, sich um den gegenwärtigen Moment zu kümmern“

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

March’s  daily actions from ‘Action for Happiness Org’s’ calendars are based on the key of Awareness: Live life mindfully. The daily actions have been selected to help make yourself and others happier.

Perhaps this coming month with work, you might;

• Notice how you speak to yourself. Try to use kind words
• Take three calm breaths at regular intervals during your day
• Take a full breath in & out before you reply to others
• Stay fully present while drinking your cup of tea or coffee
• Listen deeply to someone & really hear what they are saying
• Find ways to enjoy any chores or tasks that need doing
• If you find yourself rushing, make an effort to slow down
• Walk a different route today & see what you notice
• Notice when you are tired & take a break as soon as possible
• Appreciate nature around you, wherever you are
• Notice what is working today and be thankful that this is so

Where ever you are around the globe, I hope that the actions from this month’s calendar, will help support yours and others career management plans, selfcare and wellbeing throughout the coming month and beyond.
