Taking in the good.

As we know mindfulness can help us notice the good things in our life more effectively, even when life is difficult when we're dealing with cancer, no matter at what stage of our illness.

Of course we know that mindfulness is not all about achieving a state of relaxation and noticing only good things however, right?

Mindfulness is about gently noticing and observing EVERYTHING, both good and not so good. Mindfulness can teach us to find the beauty in good things we often miss (like a beautiful sunset, or the cooling breeze from a window, or the smell of flowers in the local park).

Mindfulness can also teach us to pay attention to the not so good things we notice, perhaps feelings of stress, tiredness, anger or frustration, and just notice that we have these feelings, yet not react to them, but also know that it's ok to have them.

In this practice, we're going to spend some time just noticing the present moment and also noticing taking in the good things, but also noticing any difficult thoughts too. Noticing everything that pops up and observing it kindly and gently and then returning each time to be back in the present moment (and not in our heads listening to our thoughts).
