Our minds are marvellous - capable of learning new things, coming up with ideas, analysing tricky problems, making up stories, anticipating issues, planning ahead and remembering the past. However, our minds can also work against us. They spend a lot of time thinking about almost anything other than what we're presently doing. They can jump to conclusions without seeing the full picture or switch to automatic responses. They can go into overdrive at the slightest trigger, repeatedly admonishing us with what we should, or shouldn't, have done, going over past events or imagining and worrying about what could happen in the future. All this can create unnecessary mental noise and lead to patterns and habits of thinking that don't serve us well.

Mindful Action Calendar has daily suggested actions to do throughout March 2020 to help you be more mindful and live in the present moment. It can never hurt to take some time in our busy days to stop, live in the moment, and be mindful.
What helps you to stay present and live more mindfully?
The people from the Action for Happiness programme have made this calendar available in 17 different languages:
