I will try to mindfully have a coffee and write a to do list for the day . This is a simple task I haven’t achieved for ages. Mood is a bit better so here’s hoping.

@Former-Member My super favourite mindfulness activities are playing my violin, doing yoga, gardening, listening to the birds and my new-found adventure of crocheting.
