100 Days of Mindfulness: Heart A Daily Mindfulness Journal of Heart, Meaning, And Compassion.

What's possible for you when you open your heart? Mindfulness is the practice of living in the moment with focused attention. It's a life-changing practice that teaches us to set aside our random, unhelpful thoughts to focus on the here and now. We learn to get out of heads and engage more fully in life. "Heartfulness" is being mindful of our heart in the present moment using this focused attention to see, hear, touch, and engage with the world around us through our heart. We learn to connect with who we are and who we really want to be. Author Tracey Moore integrates the heart in this follow-up to her first journal "100 Days of Mindfulness: Presence." In this "Heart" journal, Tracey shares mindfulness techniques focused on tuning into your heart physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Embark on a journey of your heart. Tracey's journal is easy-to-do and doesn't require extensive writing. You aren't faced with lots of blank space to fill or asked intimidating questions. This journal is simple and straightforward. In fact, you'll complete just one short page a day. The intention is to hold yourself accountable to doing the work, not writing a novel about it. Each day, you'll list what you're grateful for and acknowledge yourself for big and small successes. This establishes a practice of gratitude. You'll also do a simple "heartfulness" exercise each day, then reflect on it through writing. See what happens when you integrate your heart in your life! See what possibilities open up to you. This could be big!
