Mindfulness

To live each day with mindfulness and poise 
 one needs to calm the noises of this world 
 and slough the needless moments of worry 
 that come from negative patterns and traits
 Take a positive approach to life, fill it with
 gratitude and hope, for a better tomorrow

When you are listening, truly listen do none else 
 When you are eating, bite it slowly and enjoy it 
 When you are seeing, see only the beauty behind 

Live a life of purpose, take an open minded tour 
 Slow it down, clean it up, sort it out, make it count 
 Life is not to be rushed its to be tasted with joy 
 Send a message to your brain, "do it mindfully"

Take a positive approach to life, fill it with
 gratitude and hope, for a better tomorrow

Wow Pixie Dust, you sound just like my Yoga teacher - she is always telling me this because when I arrive at Yoga I seem stressed out, tensed, full of anxieties about work and in general not as mindfulness is depicted by you - perfectly - excellent poem - love it! Poetry hugs, Jennifer. P.S I am printing this poem and taking it to her tomorrow!
