In reply to Janet Brigden. Yes, I think once you accept intrusive thoughts will happen, and you just have to butt them out, then it's all good! xx

In reply to Sam Tonge. Absolutely agree, Sam. I was quite iffy about it all before I tried it and as you say, it works in different ways for different people. Or not, as the case may be. Glad you are enjoying the experience so far. :) Xx

In reply to Jan Brigden. Thanks Jan. It would seem I am a little late to the mindfulness party! I think we all have preconceptions about what "Meditation" is and I have to say, I've been really pleasantly surprised. Just nice to take some "time out", isn't it? xx

Great post, Sam. I’m a huge fan of mindfulness and its overall effect on our wellbeing. My best friend introduced me to meditation a while back and whether I sit for 5 mins or 25 mins, I feel the benefit. I loved reading about your mindfulness walk; it’s such a pleasure to take pleasure in the simple things we take so much for granted, isn’t it? So true how mindfulness can also help with writing and connecting with the senses. Fab pics too! 🙂 Xx

In reply to Caroline Bell Foster. Thanks Caroline and love your attitude. I have to remind myself, sometimes, it really isn't all about the destination... :) x

Lovely post Sam, I’ve always lived by the simple rule of not just smelling the roses, but taking the time to enjoy the journey along the way and I make sure my characters do the same 🙂

Let’s have some cake! x
