So our month of Mindfulness is nearly over with just two days to go. Today it’s about noticing the joy in the simple things of life.
That could be:
The smell of fresh coffee
The smile of a loved one
how the sun glints off the windows
how your body feels in a warm bath
jumping in a puddle like a kid
The sharp taste of a freshly cut lemon
It can be absolutely anything you want at all, just be really aware of the joy you feel. The experience and how that feels in your body and relish in it. There are so many beautiful joyous things that we can open our hearts and eyes to given the chance to truly think and see. So try it and see what you could find joy in today.
On Day 4 we took the time to truly be present with our coffee or tea. Today we’re going to use that same approach but with our food. How often have you actually taken the time to truly sit down and enjoy a meal?
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s so easy to just grab something on the go, or even eat whilst doing something else like watching tv and texting. But today, try something a little different!
Switch off the distractions, and be present with your food, take the time to treat it with the reverence it deserves. Food serves so many purposes for us, as well fuel, it’s used as a treat to mark social events so there’s plenty of opportunities to take a moment to really enjoy it whatever you’re eating.
Take the time today to appreciate:
the taste
the texture
the aroma
how it makes you feel
Just enjoy it.

Today’s task is another simple one but one that you’ll feel instant benefits from. Whilst many of us start the day with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy our caffeine hit, we don’t really do it in isolation. Often whilst we are drinking our cuppa we’ll be talking to someone or maybe eating or watching the news. But we rarely do it solely, and enjoy it! Today when you have your tea or coffee, simple drink it in silence and appreciate it.
Think about:
enjoying the taste
the warmth
the flavor
the aroma
how it feels as it goes down your throat
how it feels in your body
There’s so much more going on with your daily cuppa than you have ever probably appreciated before. And whilst you’re thinking through these thoughts, just enjoy your drink – no pressure, no thoughts of what you have to do – just enjoy your lovely hot cuppa. That’s it! Simple 🙂
Day 4 – Stay fully present whilst drinking your cup of tea or coffee
