Finding my mindfulness mojo My formal mindfulness practice has slipped a little lately. I've definitely lost my mindfulness mojo. My good friend and mindfulness teacher, Bella Glover (BeingWell) used to say “if you’re too busy to find 10 minutes for meditating, you need to find half an hour”. This always made me giggle as it felt so incongruent with the work/life balance I was struggling with, and yet I could completely see the logic. It hits home the crucial message that busyness is not to be worn as a badge of honour, but more as a warning sign. I met Claire Kelly (Director of Mindfulness In Schools Project - MiSP) when we were both speaking at a Wellbeing conference a couple of years ago. I am so grateful for this chance meeting, which has allowed me to follow the journey of MiSP and join with many others at the MiSP conference on Saturday 16th June, 2018 to explore the question "What is the future of Mindfulness in Education?” Over the course of the day, I heard many great inspiring passionate speakers and I wanted to share with you some of my key take-aways, and how I plan to rediscover my mindfulness mojo. If you’ve lost yours, or mindfulness continues to be on your To Do list but you’re just not there yet, I hope this may be helpful to you too. Be here now or miss the good stuff The day kicked off with the legendary Jon Kabat-Zinn. Often hailed as the man who brought mindfulness to the west. Having read Jon’s book, ‘Wherever You Go, There You Are’ over 20 years ago, Jon has been very much at the heart of my own learning. In his keynote he reminded me “running on thinking is exhausting”. We do need to make the space to BE. To train our active thinking monkey minds to occasionally come to a place of focus and stillness, paying attention to this moment so that we don’t miss the infinite possibilities of now. Mindfulness mojo goal #1 - Set an intention to practice. Busyness is not an excuse Cathie Paine explained in her authentic and heartfelt keynote how she has built a regular daily mindfulness practice by setting her alarm to allow time for this. She talked about it feeling ridiculous to sometimes be setting an alarm at 4.30am in order to fit her practice into a busy day, and yet also essential. She explained, “you can’t weave a parachute whilst you’re falling, you have to have it done before you fall”. Mindfulness mojo goal #2 - Make my practice part of my daily routine. Let mindfulness and technology be friends Often, I think we can feel frightened of technological advances, especially in relation to mindfulness. Will they distill the essential ingredients, will something get lost so the cake no longer rises? App designer Rohan Gunatillake brought a breath of fresh air with his approach to this area. He feels we need to innovate to allow mindfulness to adapt and be authentic for the 21st century. Mindfulness mojo goal #3 - Find a good app*. *I’ve got quite a few mindfulness apps on my phone including Headspace, Calm, Mindfulness For Children, and most recently Buddhify - which I tried out for the first time this morning. I enjoyed Buddhify, and one reason for this was that I was listening to Rohan’s voice, the person I was actually in a room with on Saturday, and this made the experience feel more real. Connect Luisa Martin-Thomas offered a bright and passionate keynote detailing how she had taken others along on her mindfulness journey. This sense of connection that rippled through her school underlies something that feels fundamental to a mindfulness exploration. Mindfulness Mojo goal #4 - Connect with others on their mindfulness journey*. *I’m going to be regularly checking back in with Bella to share my reflections. If you’re hunting for people to connect with try the hashtag #MiSP18 to find others who were at the conference or connect with me #mindfulnessmojo and we can do this together. We must start with ourselves Maya, a primary school student wowed us all with her final reflections that "teachers can’t expect children to be happy, if they aren’t happy themselves”. We are all teachers. We must take care of ourselves. Mindfulness Mojo goal #5 - Start with myself. https://www.thinkavellana.com/new-blog/2018/3/5/5-ways-to-shrink-the-critical-critter monthly 0.5 2021-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1520247850193-FLOZBPHT53RGVPISGC5W/IMG_5005.jpg Blog - 5 Ways To Shrink Your Critical Critter https://www.thinkavellana.com/new-blog/2018/2/2/day-5-childrens-mental-health-week-childrensmhw monthly 0.5 2018-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1517608178096-LJXTF3FVVEDGTXFK4420/keep+trying.jpg Blog - Day 5: Be Resilient - Children's Mental Health Week #ChildrensMHW https://www.thinkavellana.com/new-blog/2018/2/2/day-4-childrens-mental-health-week-childrensmhw monthly 0.5 2021-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1517608083181-2ARTA3GHF30J0E09RFTY/Kindness.jpg Blog - Day 4: Be Kind - Children's Mental Health Week #childrensMHW https://www.thinkavellana.com/new-blog/2018/2/2/day-3-childrens-mental-health-week-childrensmhw monthly 0.5 2021-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1517608000064-IQIMU2MCS75RAF4W1HEL/Mindful.jpg Blog - Day 3: Be Mindful - Children's Mental Health Week #ChildrensMHW https://www.thinkavellana.com/new-blog/2018/2/2/day-2-childrens-mental-health-week-childrensmhw monthly 0.5 2021-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1517909418618-A90421EK6VQBIAWCGU8B/Gratitude.jpg Blog - Day 2: Be Grateful - Children's Mental Health Week #ChildrensMHW https://www.thinkavellana.com/new-blog/2018/2/2/day-1-childrens-mental-health-week-childrensmhw monthly 0.5 2021-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1517607550156-XRY1MX3C876BL0WOPT8S/Strengths.jpg Blog - Day 1: Be Yourself - Children's Mental Health Week #childrensMHW https://www.thinkavellana.com/new-blog/2017/2/7/surviving-or-thriving-the-teenage-years monthly 0.5 2017-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1486463142429-CO4ANAKK6QVD4QSSL4QQ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Surviving or Thriving?

The number of parents who stayed behind afterwards to ask questions was testament to her excellence. A must for any parent of teenage boys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1620725503885-WTMX2D8M8WA341WACJW6/St_Anthony%27s_School%2C_Hampstead.svg.png Clients - Catherine Arslan - Deputy Head, St Anthony’s School For Boys Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1620726634799-RNOVS8DAESCFOTLZEN7B/sixth+form.png Clients - Bill Watkin - Chief Executive, Sixth Form Colleges Association Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/b3c89067-4924-4544-997c-31180654d7f8/Harrods.png Clients - Jesse Woodman - Learning Design Manager, Harrods Working with Hazel was a delight.

Not a day has passed since without someone excitedly telling me they’ve bought one of Hazel’s book recommendations or used one of her tactics - and seen a positive difference in their wellbeing. If you’re looking for an external expert who can combine insights that work with joyful delivery, then I highly recommend you collaborate with Hazel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5624e3f7e4b01226f119f6f9/1621430720868-7HUX22XX3S7W89MIX2KG/VA+logo+-+Copy.png Clients - Martin Addison - CEO, Video Arts As subject matter expert on our Mental Health Essentials series, Hazel applied her experience and research on Mental Health in the workplace, to ensure the learning points in the films and courses we created were both credible and comprehensive.

In the end, Hazel delivered two excellent talks for us, one on Children's Mental Health for parents, the other - topically for us in our virtual covid affected world - was all about how to 'Keep Connected' Hazel's delivery was excellent, engaging with the audience quickly with her warm style. The content was relevant and interesting with key takeaways for our participants and the visuals were fun, relevant and kept our attention.
