Mindfulness can be described as paying attention on purpose. For me to successfully engage in the creation process, I release all expectations, ego, anxiety and deadlines. With calm awareness in the present moment, I focus on one thing. Maybe it’s a client’s injured back. Maybe it’s a door jamb meeting a paver.
