Week One Tool: STOP

In a life that sees us in a constant state of rushing and reacting; STOP is a timely reminder. The tool STOP was created by mindfulness teacher John Kabat-Zinn. STOP brings us back into the present moment, through the breath and checks in with where we are at with open awareness. So often we think that we need to go faster and do more when the best thing we can do for our wellbeing, clarity and productivity is to pause for a moment.

Try using STOP as a mini-mantra and place it on your fridge, in your bathroom; anywhere the mind becomes filled up and disconnected.
