Have you ever tried to start a project, write a speech or begin anything at all but ended up feeling helpless and paralyzed with no clue how to make it happen? As soon as we seek to create, innovate or explore anything, we enter into a relationship with the creative process. For many of us, this can be a scary moment. One of the first things we may notice is how uncertain we feel about how to proceed, so we give up. So what does mindfulness have to do with writing a business plan, creating an event, or even taking a new direction in life or work? Mindfulness has been defined as paying attention in a particular way. This mindfulness-imbued ten step model shows you how to break every element of your endeavour down into manageable, bite-sized pieces, including structure, realistic and attainable goals, and wondrous antidotes to the obstacles that keep you imprisoned and unable to git ‘r done.
