I find myself experiencing mindfulness when I'm spending time with my toddler. The past few weeks I've had plenty of 'Wow, this moment is amazing' moments while doing the simplest of things with him.
I've read plenty of books, and have even done a Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy workshop. But actually applying it to my life has been a constant challenge. Being in recovery gives me the ability to better apply my mindfulness tools and reap the benefits.
