Your prompt for JusJoJan January 1, 2026, is Mindfulness.

I luckily was the first to comment on Linda’s request for prompts for this challenge, so today is my word: Mindfulness.

Many of us feel our minds bouncing from place to place, moment to moment, wondering what we could have done differently or what we need to be doing in five minutes. We often struggle with just being present in the moment because we feel the need to be doing “something.” Today I challenge you to sit (or stand), close your eyes (or just rest your gaze) and breathe to the count of ten. Just try it! Then tomorrow, try it again. Maybe counting to eleven… Or just find a place to sit and watch the world go by. Let me know how you do in the comments!
