Fun & Creative Way to Practice Mindfulness?

[BronteFan]

I've practised mindfulness since 2012, while I've enjoyed the bliss of happiness throughout my creative career.

I truly believe in the power of mindfulness and self-awareness could bring long-lasting happiness and love to ourselves, our community and the world ultimately!

In fact, I've been exploring ideas to inspire and encourage a more self-aware and mindful lifestyle since 2001, while I was studying my postgraduate in Central Saint Martins!

One direction is to integrate the idea of mindfulness into daily objects that help remind people to take care of their own mind and body in a fun and creative way.

To encourage people to spare moments to calm their mind and find balance within, I've designed a simple balancing game LaBird and launched on KickStarter.

I'm interested to get some advice from the everyday-mindfulness community.

What do you think about the idea of LaBird, and do you think it will work to help remind and encourage moments of mindfulness?

Feel free to check out LaBirdHK on KickStarter for more info!

Happy Mind, Happy Life!

I'm very sorry to disappoint you but I practise both the meditation & the arts & crafts side of mindfulness & can't see where your game comes in. It may be fun but the only person being creative here is you. To be creative you've actually got to do something like draw, paint, sew, knit, weave, crochet, make something or write poems, stories & songs.

It may be fun but the only person being creative here is you. To be creative you've actually got to do something like draw, paint, sew, knit, weave, crochet, make something or write poems, stories & songs. I've found that the best way to inspire creativity is to get involved in arts & crafts activities yourself or buy children books & D.V.D.'s on arts & crafts that show how fun art & craft can be. Anton Chekhov's short stories invited me to write quite a lot of stories & Emma Tennant's Pemberley was that descriptive I really had to draw a few scenes. As a girl, Louisa May Alcott's "Good wives" did that too.

Good luck with what you're doing though! I hope you enjoy yourself.

Thank you for all the valuable sharing.

I believe being mindful is a state of mind requires practice and learning, and ultimately to help form a clearer understanding of the self and the world, so the wisdom to see truth and meaning of life.

For those who know about the benefits & practice of mindfulness, there is nothing we should worry, as they will find their own path to enlightenment mindfully.

My interest is for those who not yet aware or interested in mindfulness, or those who suffer from a busy life and running on autopilot lifestyle.... anything we could help inspire and encourage them to try something mindful.

Or those new practitioners, who can practice in a group, then forgot when going home, or those who really having difficulty to sit still and calm their mind, anything we could help them to make practising mindfulness more fun and creative?

LaBird is a first attempt to make mindfulness more accessible and fun, to begin with, and it is only the beginning of my journey to find creative ways to spread the love for mindfulness and self-growth.

Look forward to continually learning from you all!
