Mindfulness Moment
The month of March is dedicated to organization. We are practicing mindfulness when we dedicate time to organization and planning. When our environment is decluttered and our minds are clear, we are capable of completing anything we set our minds to.
“For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned.”
Spending a few extra minutes to get ourselves organized is worth our while because it will allow us to be better prepared for days ahead.
