Mindful days for the New Year

Having a clubfoot can be particularly stressful on the body and can be very tiring. SO when the going gets tough and we get dark days, I thought some of you may be interested in this mindful challenge:

This is run by one of my friends from my first degree at university:

Pay more attention and fall in love with the world. Join our mindful writing challenge, ‘a river of stones’, in January ’12. Here’s how:
1. Notice something properly every day during January.
2. Write it down.

Easy peasy! Will you join us?

You’ll create a ‘small stone’ every day when you pay proper attention to something (a cloudy sky, or your cat leaping lightly across the lawn) and then write it down as accurately as you can.

Writing small stones will help you to engage with the world around you – to enjoy every sip of your black coffee, to savour the scent of lemon wafting around your kitchen, to appreciate the grungy sliminess of your compost pile.

You can post your small stones on a blog or Twitter, or keep them in a notebook. It doesn’t matter. The important thing is to keep your eyes, nose, ears, mouth, mind and fingers open. Who knows what you’ll find…

Get your funky blog badge and find out all about the challenge here: http://www.writingourwayhome.com/p/river-jan-12.html

Do invite your friends – the more the merrier. Last year we had 350 people take part from around the world. This year we’d love the river to be MUCH wider….

About meandmysexyclubfoot

In 1984 I was born with a club foot on my left side. Forever having problems with shoes and balancing, my problems only developed as I started noticing people found I was "complaining" when standing got unbearable. I want to celebrate my "invisible" disability with a fashionistic, empowering and holistic approach to accepting this overlooked disability! We are beautiful!
