MINDFULNESS
At Les Roudoudous we practice Mindfulness. Our programs includes MIND UP, yoga, nature walks and gardening.
"When we are mindful we are paying attention to what is happening right here and now. And we can choose where we direct our focus, placing it on something helpful and moving it away from something unhelpful (like distracting thoughts or activities).
It’s a powerful way to live. We can use any of our senses to help us focus on the present moment.
“Paying attention” rather than being distracted by a past we can’t change, or a future we can only imagine, we taste our food more, listen more closely, work more efficiently and notice more about ourselves, each other and the world around us. We are engaged and connected to our own lives and the lives of our children."
