“Be More Mindful” Finally Has a Number
You've heard the advice a hundred times. Stressed out? Be more mindful. Mid-argument? Be more mindful. Slogging through a rough season of life? You guessed it…be more mindful.

It sounds nice. You'd even like to do it. But two things get in the way: nobody tells you what being mindful means, and nobody tells you what it's worth.

Let's fix both.

Being mindful just means paying attention to what's happening right now — your breath, your coffee, the person across the table — instead of running on autopilot while your head replays yesterday and rehearses tomorrow. That's it. Noticing your actual life as it happens, without immediately grading it good or bad.

Now the worth. Researchers reviewed 56 studies covering more than 24,000 adults and asked a straightforward question: do people who are naturally more mindful also feel less stressed?

The answer was yes.

The scientists found that mindfulness and stress overlap by about a sixth. The other five-sixths of your stress comes from everywhere else, like your job, your sleep, your money, your relationships, and the 143 notifications hovering over you on your phone.

It might not seem like much, but offsetting one-sixth of your stress can feel like a massive win.

Before you think this doesn’t apply to you, here’s the most interesting part: Nobody in these studies was taught to be mindful. Researchers just asked people two things on the same day: how mindful do you feel, and how stressed do you feel? So we can't say which one causes the other. Maybe being mindful shrinks your stress. Maybe having less stress makes it easier to be mindful. It's probably a bit of both.

If you want to see if mindfulness can make a meaningful difference for you, start with something small. You don't need an app, a subscription, or a 30-day challenge.

When you’re bored and want to use your phone, notice what you’re to avoid. Eat one meal without a screen and pay attention to the flavors. On a walk, name three things you can see and three you can hear.

Just notice what's in front of you, and don’t try to make sense of it all. That's mindfulness.

Will it lower your stress? No promises, but it costs nothing, and you might be surprised by what you discover.

SAVE THE BEES!! Bees do more than just make delicious honey. Check out this post below to learn more!

Bees don’t ask for much — just flowers, clean air, and a world that still cares. 🐝
Yet every year, more bee species disappear because of pesticides, pollution, and habitat destruction. Most people scroll past posts like this without realizing that bees are responsible for pollinating many of the foods we eat every single day. Without them, strawberries, avocados, coffee, almonds, and countless other crops could slowly vanish from our lives.
This isn’t just about insects.
It’s about our future, our food, and the balance of nature itself. 🌍
If bees disappear, humanity will feel the silence they leave behind.
So before it’s too late, protect nature, plant flowers, avoid harmful chemicals, and spread awareness. Every small action matters. 💛🐝
SAVE THE BEES. SAVE THE FUTURE.

Hey guys, we're in Canton this weekend ... and it's HOT. Partly cloudy tomorrow which should cool things off a little, but otherwise it should be a great day to shop for something you didn't know you needed! Bring a wagon and an umbrella for shade and come visit the vendors of all persuasions of homemade artifacts, yard art galore, best place to get landscaping plants and flowers, the best food truck cuisines, and of course your favorite local, raw and unfiltered honey. Come by the booth and say "Hi"! Oh, and don't miss the concert and fireworks on Saturday beginning at 5pm! Hope to see you there. , , ,

First Monday, Canton began more than a century ago and has grown to become the largest outdoor vendor and flea market in the world. This epic event takes place each month on the 4 days preceding the first Monday of the month. Spread across over 450 acres, the event is home to thousands of vendors!

As a recipe staple at grocery stores, there’s a good reason honey is typically shelved in the baking aisle. But a few years ago, honey sellers began noticing honey was increasingly being used by athletes, gym rats, and hikers as a one-ingredient energy gel.

To ride the trend and fuel it, most brands have begun to redesign their packaging into single-serve mini doses, which were originally intended for honey lovers to be able to drizzle on food and beverages on the go. The new packages were, as one vendor put it ... “created with the modern athlete in mind because they are portion-controlled and easy to open and squeeze.”

We at Hallmark Honey offer small 1.5oz bears with raw, unfiltered local wildflower honey, as well as clover honey straws that are great for single dose hits of sustained energy when needed! You can get them at all markets we attend. Come see us this weekend on Saturday, June 13th at the Downtown Mesquite Market near the Galloway entrance!
