Mindfulness: How to stay cool & relaxed in everyday life!

Mindfulness in the Neflental: a special morning

In the Neflental, every day is a little adventure. The sun rises slowly and bathes the valley in soft light. Today it all begins on the Blütenwacht, a mist-covered ground full of flowers that glow in pink, lilac and emerald green. As the dew shimmers on fine cobwebs, the gnarled trees come to life. Shadowy mythical creatures flit quietly among the flowers. But today someone senses how special the day feels: it is a day on which peace and mindfulness become very important.

A relaxed start

Rosa Periwinkle slowly opens her eyes. The morning dew glistens around her. She can see soft colours everywhere. Birds sing softly. But there is a lot to do outside in the Neflental today, so her day is full. Many others are shouting in confusion because they are excited. But Rosa Periwinkle remains calm. She listens to her breath and thinks: "I breathe in, I breathe out." She quickly finds her inner peace.

Colourful leaves and bright autumn colours

There is a special place in the Neflental valley. The maple glade is hidden behind the large fern meadows. The maple trees there burn in red and orange like small flames. Many residents of the Neflental gather there. Because everyone wants to find a beautiful, glowing leaf. Rosa Periwinkle also takes a leisurely stroll to the clearing. She lets her thoughts flow and doesn't rush off.

On the way, she encounters excited Buchians who want to quickly find the best leaves. But Rosa Periwinkle just smiles, stops and admires a particularly beautiful vein of leaves in the morning sunlight. Because she walks more slowly and looks carefully, she discovers leaves that nobody has seen before.

Mindful through adventure

Even in the Neflental community, small mishaps sometimes happen. Flossians splash water while playing, or Bergsteins accidentally roll a few stones across the path. This quickly leads to arguments and excitement. On days like these, Rosa Immergrün reminds herself to be mindful. She takes a deep breath, counts to three and looks kindly at her friends.

Rosa Periwinkle knows that if she remains friendly, the others will also speak more calmly. Gradually, everyone relaxes, laughs and is cheerful again. Sometimes she just sits down, listens very carefully and watches the mythical creatures dance in the mist.

What you can learn from this

In Neflental, Rosa Immergrün shows how important mindfulness is in everyday life. Because if you go through the day mindfully, you often remain calm even in difficult situations. You can discover the beauty around you, even when things get hectic. Friends are less likely to annoy you if you react in a friendly and relaxed manner. And with a little patience, you can find new treasures - like a shiny maple leaf or a rare dewdrop.

In Neflental, many people look out for and support each other. This makes everyone strong together, even if something goes wrong. With a little mindfulness, you can always go through everyday life relaxed and cool. Just give it a try!
