    A note from Sean

    The spirit of mindfulness is not to live at one end of the spectrum. If we try to stay on one end, whether pain or joy, we lose our ability to feel the other, and we tend to suppress. I would rather we open to the full experience of life, the pleasant included.

    Try this today. Ask yourself the worksheet’s question: what beauty do you see in your world today? Look around for one minute, pick one thing, and notice how your body responds to it.

    Keep going: Noticing What Brings You Joy and Focusing on Positive Moments Throughout the Day.

    This suits anyone who wants to notice what is good without forcing it. If you are low or grieving, go gently: you do not have to feel positive. Notice one small thing, or just notice that it is hard. Stop when you need to.
