Mindfulness should be your best buddy

Mindfulness should be your best buddy

You know, like a really good friend who sits next to you when you are down to lift you up.

When you complain, your buddy mindfulness will show you that there is no reason to complain.

Challenges we face should be taken as new opportunities to learn and grow.

Thinking outside the box is what this planet needs more than ever and who else could help you in this than your best friend? 

It needs not much to be more mindful, in fact, it’s really easy.

Appreciate the little things in life, be kind, lend a helping hand, stop and breathe before doing something. 

It’s all no witch art, we all are able to be mindful.

But what we would need more often, at least I would need it, is indeed a mindfulness buddy to give me a small push once in a while.

I read so much about this topic and try my best to include mindfulness in my life, but once in a while (more often than you imagine) I am so consumed from an emotion that I “forget” what I want to do.

In the aftermath I indeed know what I did “wrong” and how I could’ve done it better.

I know that it’s in me and even though my mind would like to blame the situation or others for it, I know it better. It’s me! And there I miss my buddy who pinches me in that very moment. 

I still have a way to walk in front of me because I know my friend. Mr. Mindfulness is also within me, and it’s up to me to let him talk, to let him pinch me. 

It’s a bit like the story of the devil on one shoulder and the angle on the other one. 

The truth is in us and yes, we know what to do and how to it, but we ignore that knowledge to walk the easy way. 

One misconception is that the easy way is really easy. I doubt it because the better we become, the easier life will be. The more we are grounded within ourself, the less we will be influenced by negativity.

I’m on my way. My buddy is invited to accompany me and I need to let him talk even when I would love to bury my ears with my hands. This inner voice needs to be heard and followed, only then I will become who I want to be.

I need to become one with my buddy mindfulness – which is your actual sparring partner? Is it mindfulness? Or self-love? Tell me, let’s lift each other up and cheer us on for how far we came already.

Let’s be buddies, spiritual buddies.
