Thanks to MacPsych, I’ve discovered Mindful March by Action For Happiness, and thought to participate where possible this month. Today’s prompt asks us to ‘set an intention to live with awareness and kindness’. Two excellent principles we should all be adhering to.
And what a perfect month to start thinking more about being more aware of our surroundings March being a month where winter isn’t quite over, and spring won’t started for awhile. A month where most people, especially where I live, here in the Frozen North, start to be more aware of the seasonal changes about to happen. Watching the snows as they melt, and the arrival of spring flowers and tree blossoms as everything suddenly bursts forth.
It’s a timely month to remind ourselves that new life is just around the corner, and new adventure await us after a long, cold winter. And that we have so much more to look forward to on every level, better weather, the arrival of colour once again into our lives, and a renewed sense of vigour to be out, walking, and taking in our surroundings. So much more to see and do, and experience, including the people around us, friends, family, strangers we meet at the coffee shop.
And so today, on this Sunday, March 1st, I look forward to not only being more aware of what’s around me, but being kinder to myself and others.
