I am happy to announce Prompt #3 for the DEP Book Project today:

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is giving your full attention to the present moment, to the task you have at hand. When you do that, you savor the moment/task fully and appreciate it. Mindfulness can include gratitude for the little things in life, what mindfulness means to you, and how you practice mindfulness. Is it through mindful eating? Mindful walking? Journaling? Listening?

Share your own mindfulness practices, techniques, experiences, ideas, how you benefit from it, etc.
