St Mary's Prays
This week our virtue focus is Mindfulness. Mindfulness is building the habit of being present in the various moments of each day. It involves connecting to your surroundings, nature, others around you and to yourself. It encourages stillness as an opportunity to think more consciously about what you say, do, eat and engage with.
Without mindfulness, life can pass us by. We’re all busy, but to let stresses hinder important things like sleep and relaxation is detrimental for our mental health. Mindfulness helps us stay on track and maintain a healthy state of wellbeing – physically, mentally, aesthetically, emotionally and spiritually. Through mindfulness we develop the ability to think before we act, to better manage our impulses and anxieties.
