This week we’re going to look at the assumptions and beliefs that colour how we perceive the world. When we assume we can distort our perception of others and have a negative effect on relationships and ourselves. A key attitude in mindfulness is openness, seeing the world in front of us as it is, letting go of judgement and a willingness to see things in a new way.

You’ve probably at least had a go at mindfulness or you like to do a guided meditation every so often. But we can look at mindfulness differently - rather than it being a thing we do, we can look at it as a path that we walk, not a way to happiness but the practice of happiness itself.
