There’s a word for the thing you do when you finally stop, mid-afternoon, and notice you’ve been holding your breath. It’s mindfulness — and it’s far less complicated than it sounds.
Mindfulness is just paying attention to what’s happening right now, on purpose, without judging it. Jon Kabat-Zinn, who brought it into modern medicine, defines it almost that plainly. Not emptying your mind. Not fixing anything. Just noticing what’s already here.
It can be the warmth of the coffee cup before the first sip. The three breaths before you answer a hard text. The honest read on how you’re actually doing, instead of the automatic “good, thanks.“
That last one is the whole idea behind our newsletter. In Quiet Company is built on one small practice — noticing the thing you usually move past. What’s one thing you’ve moved past this week without letting yourself notice it?
