Mindfulness Is the New Power Move

🌸 Inspiration Corner

"Mindful and creative, a child who has neither a past, nor examples to follow, nor value judgments, simply lives, speaks, and plays in." ~ Arnaud Desjardins

This quote reminds me that being present is a gift most of us forget we already have. When I watch a child play, I see pure joy in motion. No baggage. No mental checklist. Just full presence. As business owners, we often live in the future or get stuck replaying the past. But coming back to this moment helps us remember who we are beneath the noise.

Every time I feel overwhelmed, I think about that childlike state. Not childish, just curious and unburdened. Practicing mindfulness is about meeting this moment as it is, not as we think it should be. When I do that, I make better decisions and enjoy the journey more. There is wisdom in play and power in simplicity.



🧘‍ Mindful Living Tip

Breathe Before You Reply

If you are anything like me, the notifications never stop. Emails, messages, pings. Every little buzz seems to demand an instant reply. But I have learned something simple that changed everything. Take one deep breath before responding. That is it.

That single pause gives your brain a second to shift from reactive to intentional. I use this when replying to tough client emails or even with family stuff. It helps me stay grounded instead of running on autopilot.

Try it today. The next time something triggers you, just breathe. Slowly. Inhale. Exhale. Then speak, text, or click send. It is a tiny action, but it has helped me show up more mindfully in my work and relationships.

As a freelance illustrator, I often found myself stuck in creative blocks. I started practicing mindfulness through morning walks without my phone. Just me and the breeze. That silence became my source of fresh ideas and emotional reset.

Running a small retail shop comes with nonstop decisions. I used to be overwhelmed daily. Then I discovered the power of body scans. Just ten minutes of lying still and noticing how I feel helps me recalibrate before I open the doors.
~ Nadine, Boutique Owner

Working as a content strategist, I live in front of screens. I decided to create tech free evenings once a week. No laptop. No phone. Just a book or a journal. That space has given me clarity in both work and life.
