Mindfulness: How to make your everyday life more relaxed and colourful!

Mindfulness at the height of splendour: Rosa Immergrün discovers the Bernblütenhain

A new day begins in Neflental at a glorious high. The sun bathes the summer plateau in warm, sunny gold. Small lakes glisten everywhere and the crystal rivers shine like sapphires. Pink periwinkle wakes up and hears the cheerful laughter of the revellers sitting on the banks. Lanterns float through the twilight. Everything is full of life and colour. But today, Rosa Periwinkle's heart feels a little heavy.

Pink evergreen seeks peace

Between colourful parties and loud music, Rosa Immergrün wishes for a moment of silence. She wants to organise her thoughts and feel her breath. So she slowly gets up and leaves the hustle and bustle on the lake shore. She follows a small path through the emerald green grass and forgets everything around her. Every step takes her further away from the hustle and bustle.

Arrival in the Bernblütenhain

After a short time, she reaches the Bernblütenhain. Golden yellow flowers grow here, exuding their fragrance. It smells of honey and summer rain. Pink periwinkle sits among the flowers. The air shimmers in amber colours and the wind plays soft melodies. Rosa Periwinkle closes her eyes and listens.

She breathes in deeply. She immediately feels her stomach rise and fall. A butterfly lands on a flower. Rosa Periwinkle watches it without moving. She feels her worries diminish. The voices of the revellers by the river fade into the background.

Mindfulness makes everyday life colourful

Pink periwinkle stretches her fingertips towards the sun-gold blossoms. She feels the cool dew on the leaves. At this moment, she is not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow. She only feels the warm sun on her skin and hears the gentle buzzing of the bees between the golden yellow flowers. Her everyday life becomes more relaxed and colourful.

In Neflental, the days are sometimes full of sounds, colours and adventures. But sometimes it is important to pause for a moment. Mindfulness helps Rosa Immergrün to savour every little moment. A ray of sunshine on your arms, the chirping of birds, the glowing sapphire blue river - everything becomes special and precious.

Back to a colourful life

As the sun slowly sinks lower and the shining high colours coral red, Rosa Periwinkle gets up. Her heart is light now. The colourful lanterns still float quietly above the heads of the revellers. Rosa Periwinkle returns and joins the party. She laughs, dances and shares her joy. Because she was mindful for a few minutes in the Bernblütenhain, she now feels happy and full of energy.

She shows her friends how important it is to close their eyes sometimes and to be aware of life. Soon they are sitting together in the amber blossom grove, feeling the wind and hearing the rustling of the golden yellow leaves.

What do we learn from this?

Sometimes everyday life in the Neflental is loud and colourful. That's when it's good to be mindful, like Rosa Immergrün. If you open your eyes to the small wonders, you will be more relaxed and happier. Because even in the midst of the hustle and bustle, a little break in the Bernblütenhain brings the glamour back into your heart.
