I read an interesting post on mindfulness over at Hopeful Parents and thought it was well worth spotlighting.
Two questions is all that it can take to be mindful of any given situation. (I always go for the easiest option!!)
What am I doing?
Why am I doing it?
For sure, the above poster is not exactly what the writer had in mind, however, I feel that the two questions can be used in any way that works for me. Yesterday I chose to put some thought into my style of communication and how I can help my child to THINK for HIMSELF!
Tomorrow I may reflect on my feelings of angst!! :-)
There is so much to unpack in that poster! I wish more people understood why mindfulness is so important and what it can do for a person with autism. To quote a friend's consultant, "We need to stop being their pre-frontal cortex!"
ReplyDelete@Walking ~ there is a whole lot of unpacking that needs to be done! The consultant's quote is SO apt and is definitely one I will bookmark.
DeleteBrilliant and so simple!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Blue Sky. As you know, it sounds simple, however, it takes a lot of practice! :) xx
DeleteExcellent adaptation!
ReplyDeleteI need some Mindfulness myself, I really must look into it....
Merry Christmas to you and your family :-)
