Everyday Breathing: Building Patience & Awareness

The intention of mindfulness isn’t stillness, nor perfection, but working with how we relate to our experience day to day. Instead of reinforcing habits like distraction and reactivity, unintentionally allowing our stress to escalate in countless ways, we set an intention to build more productive habits for ourselves instead. There’s no perfect. Our minds stay busy. With practice, we find long term changes – and in the moment, we more easily settle ourselves when life gets unsettling too.
