I am working on mindfulness as centering. Consciously noticing my thoughts, accepting them without judgment, and letting them go peacefully helps me re-center when I feel distracted.
Spend a few moments practicing mindfulness today, focusing intently on what is before you and doing it with intention.
I seek those things that realign my mind, body and spirit.
What is it that aligns your mind, body, and spirit? How do you know when there is alignment there? What does that feel like?
I practice what adrienne maree brown calls “holding change,” which allows people who hold my beliefs, ideals and values to gather around and feed and nurture me emotionally and spiritually.
Who are the people holding and supporting you through change?
I am learning how to de-center myself, as a white person, so that more voices are heard.
How do you center those with less power than you?
When I want to re-center I often try to find a quiet place, so that I can have space to separate what are my thoughts, and what are the thoughts of others.
How do you feel in a quiet space? Can you find a moment of quiet today?
