10-Give Yourself Time to Be Mindful

Hi {!firstname_fix}

We have made it to final day of the Beginner’s Guide to Mindfulness! On this final day, 
you will be learning how to give yourself more time to be mindful, but first, let’s look at 
the lessons so far:

Day 1: Learn the Basics of Mindfulness 
Day 2: Focus on One Thing at a Time 
Day 3: Bring Awareness to Certain Activities 
Day 4: Focus on Eating Without Distractions 
Day 5: Try Meditation with Mindfulness 
Day 6: Embrace Negative Emotions and Move on From Them 
Day 7: Develop a Non-Judgmental Attitude 
Day 8: Forgive Yourself 
Day 9: Write in a Journal

Today, we want to remind you to be patient with yourself. Mindfulness is not something 
you can pick up right away in most cases. If you have ever tried meditating, you know 
how easy it is for your mind to wander. This same difficulty comes with being more 
mindful. The most important thing to understand is that it takes practice, just like 
anything else.

Start slow with the lessons you learned in this email series, from picking just one thing 
to focus on, to just trying to be mindful when you are writing in your journal or while 
eating a meal. As you do this, you begin being mindful more every day, until it gets to a 
point where you don’t even have to remind yourself to live in the present – it will just 
come naturally.

Thank you for joining us in this series!
