Notes for the Children
Watering the Seeds
In this enlightening episode of Notes for the Children, our host, Pat Priestner, invites listeners on a journey through the art of mindfulness and the power of nurturing positive thoughts.
Drawing from the metaphor of a gardener tending to their garden, Pat explores how we can cultivate our emotional landscape by carefully choosing which 'seeds' – thoughts and emotions – to water and nurture.
By practicing mindfulness, we become more aware of these seeds and gain the wisdom to water the wholesome ones. Sharing personal insights on how our upbringing influences how we tend to our emotional garden, Pat shines a light on how, with mindfulness, we can reshape these influences into positive forces.
This episode is not just a lesson in mindfulness; it's an invitation to build a strong foundation for ourselves and our loved ones, ensuring that when the winds of life change, we are grounded in happiness and resilience.
Join us in this compelling episode as we learn to be excellent gardeners of our emotions, making mindful choices that lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.
