The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.

Hi Reader,

12 years ago I had so much pain inside I had no idea how to handle it. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

My life was a disaster and I found myself googling โ€˜How to handle the pain inside?โ€™

My only solutions were shopping and alcohol.

I found a few answers on Google like positive affirmations it helped a little bit but it couldnโ€™t ease the sharp pain I felt all the time after my life crushed all over me.

It took me months to feel better.

I wish somebody would have just told me to try these 11 mindfulness practices.

Thatโ€™s why I created the Mindfulness Emergency Kit ๐Ÿšจ โ€”11 easy-to-follow mindfulness practices to calm anxiety, stress, and worries fast, even on the toughest days.

โ€‹Get your โ€˜Kitโ€™ here at no costโ€”itโ€™s only available for a short time.


Let's dive into today's article ๐Ÿคฟ

Sometimes, we just want someone to tell us what to do โ€” a guide when life feels overwhelming.

When I was deep in my own struggles, I wished someone had handed me an exact list of what to do and what not to do.

Through trial and error (and reading countless mindfulness books ๐Ÿ“š), I found my way with these ten rules.

I donโ€™t follow them perfectly.

Life is messy, and I stumble.

But I practice, I improve, and over time, Iโ€™ve begun to feel more alive and present โ€” especially when things donโ€™t go my way.

If you feel the same, Iโ€™m sharing my notes from years of practicing mindfulness with you. ๐Ÿ“

Here are the ๐Ÿ”Ÿ rules I try to live by โ€” maybe theyโ€™ll guide you, too.


๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ Mindfulness Practiceโ€‹
I share one practice for you to try every week:

Q4 is the busiest season of the year in business/at work and private, too, with all the holidays coming up.

It looks like full calendars and long to-do lists for most of us.

I invite you to still make space for rest until year-end.

๐Ÿ“† Open your calendar and try to find at least one empty slot each week until year-end and block it for an activity you know fills your cup.

That could be:

  • ๐Ÿ“– Reading time
  • ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ Spa / Massage appointments
  • ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ A walk in nature
  • ๐Ÿ™†โ€โ™€๏ธ Join a yoga class
  • ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ Meditate

I did this exercise last year and it was a true life-saver.

I'll do exactly the same as last year and book a massage once a week.

A part of me already wonders how I'm going to make this work but that's why I put it into the calendar before everything fills up.

โ˜‘๏ธ What's scheduled will get done!

It feels so good to plan and know I won't put myself last.

As Katie Reed says 'Self-care means giving the world the best of you instead of what's left of you.'
