It's Self Improvement Thursday and I was going to write something useful and insightful about mindfulness and its benefits for our mental wellbeing. Then I saw this TED talk by Andy Puddicombe. Once upon a time in writing class I learnt that we should always 'show, not tell' so watch this. He shows it better than I could possibly write it ;-)

I'm not sure I'm ready for ten minutes each day. It's not very much but a lot at the same time, don't you think? I'm definitely going to start with baby steps - maybe one minute to begin with and I'll work up from there. With a lot going on with blogging, working, kids, house, life I think my brain could do with a break. How about yours?
