I am still processing the experiences from the Wisdom 2.0 conference last month—it was all about bringing mindfulness to technology. One of the organizations who supported the conference, Between Four Eyes left a wonderful take-away card, on which were pearls of wisdom that I want to share with you.

Tips for mindful living from their team around the world:

• Rest in bed for one extra minute and be thankful for another day.
• Onwards, upwards, and inwards.
• Shhhhh! Listen to nature – it’s talking to you!
• Savor the aroma of your coffee.
• Pause when perplexed, breathe when tense, rest when tired.
• Switch from ego-centric to eco-centric.
• Observe your food before you take the first bite.
• Gaze into the sky and admire the wonder and beauty of Creation.
• Put your phone down.
• Listen to your body, respect its wisdom.
• Lean on your dreams as you sway back and forth in the hardships of life.
• Less is the new more.
• Slow down and enjoy.
• Practice gratitude as an antidote to greed.
• Be aware of your fears and listen to their secrets.

Simple but true.
