I’m Paige Burkes. I created simple mindfulness to support you in new, mindful ways of being that will allow you to live a happier and more fulfilled life.
What does that really mean?
We’re all looking for more happiness in our lives. I want to support you in taking the simple steps in your everyday life toward a much happier life.
Unfortunately many of us succumb to the messages of media and our society that tell us that something outside of ourselves will make us happier. We start telling ourselves, “I’ll be happy when… I get a promotion, make a certain amount of money, have the perfect relationship, lose a certain amount of weight, I’m finally my own boss, etc.”
The truth is, happiness comes from within. I know it sounds kind of cliché but I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life discovering that it’s true. I want to teach you all I’ve learned to speed up your learning process so you can be happier now.
Instead of complaining about all the negatives and wishing they were different (forms of resisting the current condition), if we fully accept the way things are and are happy no matter what, all those negative things start to change and morph onto what we really want. I know it sounds counter-intuitive but it’s true.
I’ve wasted all too many years of my life and tons of energy resisting my condition and trying to control things I can’t control. Whenever I did this, the conditions got worse and I was more unhappy. The more I blamed my unhappiness on other people and external conditions, the worse I felt.
Once I started noticing – being mindful – of my thoughts and actions and how they affected my world, I realized how I was creating my own unhappiness. It wasn’t anyone’s fault but my own. I was free to create my own reality.
The more I accepted and embraced things and people just the way they are, the more quickly they changed into what I had been dreaming about.
The more I took personal responsibility for my own life and happiness, the lighter I felt and the happier I became.
And when I started taking baby steps toward the life I wanted, my dreams came true.
If you want to change all the negative circumstances in your life, YOU need to change first.
My goal simple mindfulness is to guide you along the path that I’ve taken and hopefully save you some of your precious time and life energy on your quest to being truly happy. I hope that by being very transparent with my life and my many mistakes (i.e. learning experiences), I can support you in your journey to higher levels of happiness and fulfillment in your life.
