LIVING MINDFULLY
 Living mindfully is like being an artist: you need the right tools to practice your craft, and you
need to constantly refine your technique to achieve your creative potential. In the same way,
using the present moment tools below will help you to hone a consistent mindfulness practice
that will in time lead to a more aware, compassionate and fulfilling way of life.
 Tool 1: Breathe Mindfully. Use your breath as an anchor to still your mind and bring your
focus back to the present moment.
 Tool 2: Listen Deeply. Listen with intention; let others fully express themselves and focus on
understanding how they think and feel.
 Tool 3: Cultivate Insight. See life as it is, allowing each experience to be an opportunity for
learning.
 Tool 4: Practice Compassion. Consider the thoughts and feelings of others and let tenderness,
kindness and empathy be your guides.
 Tool 5: Limit Reactivity. Observe rather than be controlled by your emotions. Pause, breathe,
and choose a skilful response based on thoughtful speech and non-violence under every
condition.
 Tool 6: Express Gratitude. Practice gratitude daily and expand it outward, appreciating
everyone and everything you encounter.
 Tool 7: Nurture Mutual Respect. Appreciate our common humanity and value different
perspectives as well as your own.
