A Mindfulness Guide for Survival

Dear Reader,

I have written this workbook filled with exercises and information so that hopefully next time there’s a catastrophe, from a small scale one (your dog is missing or you forgot to return an email) to another big world crisis (the spread of a future variant caused by people in Utah eating aliens), you’ll be better prepared.

I hope the book can help you hold the rudder straight even in a squall and come out the other end buoyant. I know nothing about warding off another virus, immunologist, vaccines aren’t my thing but I do know how and what to do with the mind. Not because I’m a naturally born ‘Enlightened One’ but because I studied, practised and still practise mindfulness. Anyone, after 100 reps of tummy crunches at the gym will eventually develop a muscle, unless they’re cheating, same thing with mindfulness.

So wherever we are, this workbook is for you, to hopefully steady and strengthen the mind muscles to be able to take on the whips and arrows of outrageous fortune or whatever’s slung at us in the future and to better survive this life.

Love, Ruby x
