I have been asked to write a report and anyone who knows me will laugh. Laugh because I really do not like doing anything formal. I am more of a hands on and get the job done sort of person.
Mindfulness; don’t judge the task just acknowledge and get on and do it; I tell myself. OK, so I look at what I have to do and break it down into manageable sections. It isn’t looking so bad now. Right, so what do I need to really make it look good. Help! Yes, I require some assistance and I know just the people to assist. Hmm maybe this isn’t so bad. I get to do some research, which I enjoy, and to work collaboratively with two people I don’t usually work with. A win/win situation.
I emailed my draft report to these colleagues and asked ‘Is it all there?!’ More work to do but it will involve a mindful cup of coffee and laughter.
Now I would like to share with you some of today’s reading:
Report by the Mindfulness All-Party Parliamentary Group (MAPPG) October 2015 (PDF)
Politicians joined by Ruby Wax as parliament pauses for meditation
These links show Mindfulness is mainstream and is highly regarded. So, why aren
‘t we engaging more with it? A question we should all be asking ourselves.
If you’d like to talk to me about what I do, please get in touch.
