Gain The Little Book Of Mindfulness: 10 Minutes A Day To Less Stress, More Peace Expressed By Patrizia Collard Rendered As Print

and useful little book and small enough to fit in your handbag, Lots of tips and ideas I will definitely use, What makes this little book amazing is it's ability to demonstrate to the reader a multitude of quick ways usually lasting betweenandminutes to practice mindfulness.
It outlines small but powerful ways to be mindful daily, You can be more grounded, present and mindful even if you aren't able to dedicate an hour a day to meditation.
This little lovely, succinct book shows you how, Packed full of quick meditations, yoga poses and breathing techniques that help you become more mindful, Sometimes we neglect

to stretch our bodies and carry around with us emotional tension and the body scanning techniques and yoga poses really helped to release this.
A couple I particularly liked were mindful walking and mindful eating, This book in essence helps you to slow down and reflect on how you are at that moment in time, It also allows you to consider the present moment and how to actually live within it, I found this book to be well presented, It talks about why we need to be mindful and suggests exercises to put it into practice, I will be going back to certain chapters as I need them and do the exercises, A quick and great with tips to help with meditations and help with a stress free life, This was fine for what it is, but pretty standard fare for this kind of book, takingpages to say what could have been said in.
Slow down, Breathe, think about your breathing, live in the now, repeat,

Much of it was a bunch of basic yoga exercises, and while that is no bad thing, I think there are probably a lot better books out there on that.


The only passage that really resonated with me, with regard to slowing down and trying to stop worrying about everything was:

"We need only remember when we were children who gazed at the sky and the drifting clouds.
There was nothing to do, nothing to achieve, There was no notion of time nor any guilt for 'wasting' it, Time and guilt are concepts we learn about much later in life, " This isn't the sort of book that one reads in one go, I read a section a day and dragged it out, This little pocketsized book focuses on practical tips and exercises for mindfulness, It's probably most suitable for a beginner, and does not go into all the philosophy and endless details, The illustrations are pretty, and there are some lovely poems and quotes,

A friend loaned me this book, Its the sort of book that I might have bought several years ago, but Im not really into this sort of stuff these days.
I enjoy stretching and yoga, but I dont really need a book for that, Guided meditation is not my thing, I enjoyed the part about mindful eating, which is something that I struggle with,

A quote and a story that I thought to share:

“Taking a mindful approach to illness means initially accepting what is.


“Buddha told this story of the two arrows to his visitors:
Life often shoots an arrow at you and wounds you.
However, by not accepting what has happened, by worrying about it, by saying it is unfair and wondering how long the pain will last, we tend to shot a second arrow into the open wound and increase and prolong the pain.
Pain is often a given, but suffering is optional, ”

Everything said is pretty much fact, We are living in a toofast, toofull, toohorrible world and we need to slow down before we kill ourselves, We don't need a book to know this, we already know, Perhaps some need a book to have it drilled in to them, or they don't quite understand until someone will a prefix to their name says something about it.
It is the same with everything: we are just too lazy, too secure in our capitalist, consumerist world to really, really care.
As long as we have the new iPhone, we care about nothing else, One book will not help that, Wonderful little book of reminders and practical exercises to be more mindful,

I had it as an ebook and would do some of theorp minute exercises on my lunch break.
We tend to focus on the negative things in life because of stress and overwhelming, The mindfulness philosophy uses millenniaold ideas to help you slow down and rethink, Learn to let go and give in, to consciously perceive the world with new eyes and to concentrate on the beautiful and positive things in life.
Easy to read, easy to understand, Contained very simple and clear instructions to mindfulness, There were also some poetry which, is a plus for me!

I used this as a reference to my paper, and I feel obliged to share that this is worth it yall! This book is wonderful for anyone who's looking for a way to destress or unwind from daily tensions for a couple of minutes.
Each exercise takes fromtominutes each, and you can practice them as many times as you want,

These exercises really helped to get my day started in a much more relaxed and positive way, A fun romp through various mindfulness techniques and ideas, Good for some light reading to brush up on your practice, or as a loweffort introduction if you're just getting into it.
I was introduced to Mindfulness as an approach from my psych classes when we discussed CBT and other therapy methods, This book added much more to my knowledge, and helped me think about ways to infuse mindfulness in my own daily life.
I'd recommend this to anyone and everyone, and I think it could actually be a very thoughtful gift,
Truly uplifting, hopeful and peaceful,

This was the first book I purchased this year and it will be my last review for the year.


I bought this book of meditation on, Little did I know whathad in store for me and how much strength I would gain from takingorminutes out of my day to rest my mind.
It sounds easy, but its not, In times of chaos and uncertainty its not normal for me to randomly think, you know, I should take aminute time out.
Seriously, I dont have time for that! BUT when I did, I felt a renewed energy and a little different focus.
When I caught on that this is a useful tool it was easier to set asideminutes,

was a great year, but incredibly stressful, My daughter graduated from high school and was accepted at UNLV, During the summer, my husband received a job offer that had us moving again when I just found my footing in less than a year from the last move.
Once again, were moving at the beginning of a senior year, Hes my youngest so no more moving and all the stress of changing schools,

Reading and all my friends here on Goodreads have been my constant and for that Im so thankful! Love and Peace in.
Happy New Year!
This little book wasnt quite what I was expecting or looking for, . . the first half was focused more on yoga type exercises and practices, which I understand helps with mindfulness, but I was hoping for more information and guidance on “how to” practice and be mindful.
For example I enjoyed the raisin exercise, I wanted more of that, But then again, I did learn to accept the book for what it is, Mindfully. Such a cute little book, Filled with amazing practical ways to practice mindfulness, Definitely good to have to hand, Becoming Mindful

Mindfulness is a process of acknowledgement of everything around us, ourselves, and even our breathing.
Great tips in here! Ready to learn more in the future about this topic, The book is from Patricia Collard, NOT Julia or it should be hernd name
I've bought this nice little fellow last Decemberduring my trip to Newport Beach California and love her short practices.
You try them one by one during your coffee or lunch break and are very effective for your daily health, Back in Europe, I make use of her advise to find a personal training schedule trainer to personalize my daily mindfulness practices.
A great book on mindfulness!

I wanted an introduction to the practice of mindfulness, and this book is it! It's a quick read that includes exercises and ideas to practice daily.
I imagine that I'll refer to this book often on my journey toward mindfulness and less stress,

Very clear and well structured perfect for people who have very limited time to themselves during their working day.
I work.hours a daydays a week and find it hard to relax after a shift regardless of how much meditation I do or even light reading which usually helps.


This book opened my eyes to other ways of relaxing when feeling stressed and unsure of how to wind down.
It contains exercises as well as wise words to help you through it, I learned how to relax myself and be more mindful about my day, I am grateful I have come across this book during these difficult times because I found it horribly hard to shut down after work due to the crisis going on and this book has supported me well!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed it and i recommend to anyone who is in a similar situation! This little book is perfection.
It gives little ideas for finding mindfulness each and every day, It is sprinkled with lovely artwork throughout the pages, It is pure joy. This book is great for beginners if you're looking to add mindfulness to your life and are new to the idea, then I'd recommend it.
I found it to be a little dull at times, but there were a couple ideas I highlighted,.

Nothing profound. Not bad but not what I expected, I really enjoyed this book, Easy beginners guide to meditation, Shortmin sessions, so nothing overwhelming, I use the techniques as often as I remember, Really useful when you find yourself getting impatient in queues, anxious in traffic, unsettled in waiting rooms or supermarkets or stressedout at any time in any way.
It's all about being kind to yourself being more aware of the present moment mindfully listening, eating, walking, speaking, It's a gentle message and a necessary timeout, Its a great little pocket sized book, It offers a bit of insight into mindfulness, some helpful exercises, and some nice poetry for inspiration, I felt it had a good mix of mindfulness and is perfect for everyday use, This short book is a great resource for both experienced mindfulness practices and novices, It gives a good, basic introduction, though I recommend reading some more background materials if you are completely new to mindfulness.
It then focuses on a diverse number of mindfulness practices, from simple breathing exercises, to body movements, applying mindfulness to specific situations such as stress, illness or loss and even other practices such as mindful walking ore eating.
It is a great collection for quick reference with even a few new exercises and twists that I will surely be using frequently.
