“Breathe in…Breathe out…” We breathe naturally and automatically. We can make use of breathing, our innate ability, to practise a “330 micro break”. Focusing on the breathing process helps us bring our attention back to the present and let us be with ourselves. We will be more conscious of our present situation and be more aware of the importance of taking care of ourselves.

Time with our kids is always the most precious moment despite our packed schedule. We can make this precious moment even more pleasurable. Let us feel our kids and give them our wholehearted attention. This will enhance kids’ holistic development and nourish parent-child relationship.

* In positive psychology, “savouring” is a way to maximize positive experiences, an attitude that can help us be more attentive and be engaged in the moments we enjoy. We can consciously focus on our sensory enjoyment, commit fully in each moment to be present; , thereby making the experience more enjoyable, and keeping the feeling of enjoyment going.

* According to the definition by the founder of “Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction course, Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to understand oneself and cultivate wisdom and compassion.” In the past 30 years, Mindfulness has been broadly applied in medical and psychological studies. Many scientific and clinical experiments have also shown that Mindfulness practice helps improve overall mental health state, including but not limited to stress reduction, focus enhancement, improvement of interpersonal relationships and well-being.
