Carrie says: A deep breath and asking myself “Am I treasuring this moment? Am I feeling treasured?” My Style Statement is Refined Treasure.

Danielle says: My breath – deep from the belly. And, ironically enough, my ambitions – which always remind me: “start where you are.”

Sarah says: My two boys. I struggle with how often I realize I am not present in the moment, not connected to my body, my heart. My children are my little zen masters, expanding not only my awareness of what each moment has to offer but also helping to engage me in the beauty of what is. When I’m off in another land they tug on my arm and my older boy has even been known to turn my head to face his. I ache with guilt when they need to physically redirect me to bring me into full focus on their needs.

Small things I do include quick yoga breaks, a step outside for fresh air in the midst of a focused day of work, really really good food that demands to be savoured, and calling my husband just because. I know a woman who used to wear a buzzer that would give her an electronic zing every five minutes to bring her mindfully into the moment
