Custom Mindfulness Plan - Chase
This really made me think about what mindfulness actually is. Using our definition of anything that I give my attention to fully, I realized that I have several practices that I rely on regularly. One of the most important for me is working with plants. I have a borderline-OCD relationship with my houseplants and the trees and shrubs outside my house. I love spacing out and walking around the outside of my small urban house, checking on the growth of each of the shrubs and trees that I have planted. In the winter I plan out the things that I want to plant as soon as the ground thaws and dream about what my garden will look like in ten years when all of the plants have grown large. I imagine a miniature jungle with many small spaces where people can relax underneath vines teeming with swollen fruit and trees aflush with flowers. Dreaming....yes....distracted.....no.
