This morning, I decided to break away from my usual walking routine and take a mindful walk. I live near the Richmond Lock so I went along the beautiful and peaceful path along the river. Armed with just my phone (not my trusty professional camera), I embraced the opportunity to be fully present and appreciate...
In our fast-paced lives, it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by distractions that pull us away from the present moment. I thought it was just me getting lost in the maze of my thoughts but studies show that our minds wander about 47% of the time. And guess what? Unfortunately, most of these thoughts wander...
My friend does photography as a hobby and she finds it incredibly relaxing and it brings her mindfulness also x
Recently, I’ve been diving deep into the question of why I do what I do. It’s not the first time I’ve pondered this, but with each passing year and each new experience, my “why” seems to evolve. So, what exactly do I do? Well, I’m a portrait photographer based in London, specializing in motherhood photography....

Scrolling is one my bad habits. I need to reduce my scrolling time. Thank you for sharing this article.
I know, it was my main time waster. Even if for work I have to use it, it’s so distracting! Thanks for reading.
I completely understand the struggle with phone addiction. Your tips from ‘Atomic Habits’ are spot-on. I also keep my phone in another room at night and silence notifications for better sleep. It’s small changes like these that add up. Thanks for sharing your insights!
