This leaf was so glossy and almost purple-black when I spotted it. Taking a moment to really look at it revealed so many amazing colors and textures that changed in the light.

I love that! 💚

Practicing #mindfulness in your everyday life is like being a naturalist to your own experience. 🌿
When feelings or experiences come up, try observing without judging, fixing, or comparing. Be gently curious about your experience. You may be surprised by what you find! ❤️

No acorns were harmed in the making of this #wildkeptmoment 😉 These sawtooth oak acorns caught my eye on a walk this week because of their unusual little acorn hats.

Things change. Change can be welcome, routine, exhilarating, terrifying, and everything in between. Notice how you feel during periods of change, and try sitting with those feelings. Calm and clarity can come with mindful attention to your inner experience.

It may sound simple, but the practice of Noticing is a key element of mindfulness & cultivating self-awareness. See if you can consistently notice your thoughts & feelings as they arise, and use Noticing to respond rather than react in the moment.
