Your racing thoughts are like autumn leaves.

Watch them swirl, without trying to catch them.

That's where peace quietly awaits your return.

It's complete, just as it is.

And so are you.

Mindfulness isn't about emptying your mind.

It's about befriending what's already there.

You're not behind, you're not ahead.

You're exactly where you need to be, when you need to be here.

Smile with the realization of this truth.

The magic isn't in achieving stillness.

It's simply noticing when your mind has drifted away.

Phone notifications aren't life.

Instead, life happens BETWEEN them.

Pause and savor this quiet moment.

Sometimes, the most profound meditation happens while doing dishes or folding laundry.

May we remember the magic in our "ordinary" moments.

In this moment, release the need to fix or change anything.

Instead, breathe. Rest in the awareness of what is.

Each moment is rich with life, if only we have the ears to listen.

You pay a steep price for avoiding your emotions. Learn how to work with them, instead of against them.
