What is mindfulness?
It’s a big question that’s getting asked by everyone from large employers to news outlets to major business publications.
The concept of Mindfulness originated in Buddhist thinking and meditation practice over two-and-a-half thousand years ago. Its original purpose was to address and relieve self-induced suffering caused by the dysfunctional ways people habitually tend to respond to their experiences. While mindfulness has its primary roots in Buddhism, almost all religions encourage people to practice ways of shifting their thoughts away from their usual preoccupations and towards an appreciation of the moment, and a larger perspective on life.
Mindfulness resources
The Mindfulness Toolkit contains a wide array of helpful resources that will help you live mindfully.

Trying to combine Motherhood and Careers
BLOG: Combining work and motherhood is possible.
It is also possible to thrive and progress in your career.

Too many teachers leave the classroom after becoming mothers (see the MTPTProject‘s excellent Light Research project where they delve into this in much more depth). One way of supporting mothers to continue with their career is to share our stories so that we may empower each other to see what is possible and to aim for what we might otherwise have believed was impossible.
