What is Mindfulness? Mind defines 'Mindfulness' as: 'a technique you can learn which involves noticing what's happening in the present moment, without judgement. You might take notice and be aware of your mind, body or surroundings.' That's it. There is no specific activity you have to do - I love yoga, I use guided meditation from time to time, I dance and I try to sit in the garden and drink a cup of tea most days. And, of course I play boardgames. It doesn't have to cost the earth and mindfulness looks different for everyone. I thought I'd tell you a bit about what it looks like for me in terms of boardgames. I'd love to hear what it looks like for you.
If you're looking for some game suggestions to get the gang playing together this Christmas - look no further; no matter what age the person or what they are interested in there's a board game (or card game) to suit everyone.
