Route 1️⃣
“Present Moment Awareness”
Paying non-judgmental attention to ‘right now’ is the fastest route to presence. No matter what you do, or where.
📍 Presence is one conscious breath away
Route 2️⃣
“Struggle and Suffering”
We all feel pain and suffer. Especially in times of adversity and change. Resist? We suffer more. Sit with difficulty? We deepen awareness.
📍 Healing is possible in the stormiest weather
Route 3️⃣
“Luck and Fortune”
Accepting and embracing life’s inevitable ups and downs help us flow with life’s currents, not reject or deny reality. With open awareness we embrace all kinds of luck.
📍What happens ‘to me’ becomes what happens
Route 4️⃣
“Crossroads”
Major decisions or sudden life change provide opportunities for deeper reflection. We can consciously choose a values-aligned path for a healthier life.
📍Choose healthy habits or bring awareness to unhealthy ones
Route 5️⃣
“Creativity”
Finding space and time for creativity and play is an investment in brain and body health, increased emotional regulation and happiness.
📍Presence grows while creativity flows
Route 6️⃣
“Wellbeing Highway”
Choosing ‘your’ self-care habits increases awareness of your needs, those you care for or lead. One person’s yoga and therapy, is another’s exercise or mindfulness.
📍 Self-care can begin at home with healthy sleep!
Route 7️⃣
“Nature”
Knowing we’re connected by nature, not isolated by distance, increases our feelings of belonging, community and harmony.
📍 A lunch walk or stretch is a wellbeing booster
Route 8️⃣
“Intention and Attitude”
Intentions give us a purposeful sense of direction. Results without striving. With mindful attitudes, we accept outcomes with self-compassion.
📍 Trust intentions that spring mindfully
