The Mindful Break returns! As my stress levels rise, I find that I need to slow down…to remember that I need a bit of a daily break. A reminder to myself to just breathe.
This is how The Mindful Break was born last year – it was a fun ride, and I was joined by a lot of other lovely peeps who enjoyed it too. And so, it returns again this year.
What is The Mindful Break?
It is a 15 day photography challenge – a simple reminder to be in the moment, a gentle pause in the middle of all the frenetic activity.
The “rules” are super simple.
Post 1 photo a day {or more if you wish!} on Instagram using #TheMindfulBreak hashtag.
Take a look at the activity in the hashtag to chat with new peeps and find some interesting new Instagrammers to follow.
Add a link to your Instagram account so we can find new peeps to interact with and follow.
There is no compulsion to follow anyone, and you don’t have to be a blogger to participate. Just share your photos on Instagram using #TheMindfulBreak hashtag and have fun! {Oh, and make sure your Instagram account is not set to private, or we won’t be able to find you!}
The challenge runs on Instagram from 15 to 31 October.
As I did last year, I will create a free ebook featuring some of my photographs from the challenge along with some essays and quotes on mindfulness. If you’d like to get a copy, sign up for Gypsy Wanderings here.
Head over to the main challenge page to add your Instagram account to the linky and let’s have some fun!
Last year’s participants:
Would love join, Shinjini!!!
Would love to have you join in, dear!
What a cool challenge! <3
I’d love it if you would join in! 🙂
Looks like a fun challenge but I take pictures with a camera, not a cell phone, so I’m not sure if I can do instagram.
It would be great if you could transfer some to your phone and post them on Instagram. Or do a blog post or two during the challenge and connect that way! 🙂
I remember your last challenge. I have signed it… hopefully I will complete it too 🙂
I hope so. I’d love to see your photographs! 🙂
Wow! That’s awesome! Count me in, Jini! 🙂
Excellent! So happy to have you joining in on this challenge!
I am in for this 15 day photography challenge 🙂
Yippee! I will look out for your photographs.
Was a part of it last time;
hoping to join in this time too 🙂
And I will look forward to seeing your awesome photographs this time too!
That should be an interesting challenge! It would tie in well with my flourishinsideout challenge anyway 🙂
Sounds like a fun challenge. Heading off to join in

I hope to see you join in!! <3
I love this idea! I haven’t used my Instagram site very much I had just decided to challenge myself to use it more. This is a great way for me to do that.
I am camera shy so I have avoided Instagram but I’m reconsidering it.
You don’t have to post pictures of yourself on Instagram. 😉 Do reconsider – it will be a fun challenge!
