Mindful Living

Being mindful is recognizing, knowing, and seeing how your energy influences other people, and to not judge yourself or others based on their energy or actions. This may seem like a crazy concept, but take a moment and reflect on your life. Pick a recent moment and think of what your energy was like in that time and how it may have influenced others. For example I was a choir teacher, and in my classroom my students fed off of my energy a lot. If I came in super excited and ready to go, my students picked up on that and they were as well, but if I came in sad or upset then my students would be slower and less excited as well.
