Thank you so much Rick for your daily guidance. I have been enjoying all the sessions and learning so much. It truly has been a very special week where my life is enriched daily. I am so grateful to you all.
These morning challenges, indeed all the presentations, have been enormously helpful and I am very grateful to you all for being so giving of your time and wisdom.
Today’s challenge was especially helpful to me, in the way you framed it. Thank you
Ugh. This one was a bit challenging to relive work on a Saturday!overall have appreciated the series
I love these daily challenges. And this one in particular really strikes me. Thank you so much for the wisdom, hints, tips, etc!
Thank you so much about this talk. It has given me a sense of purpose, that is, not to get upset to every time I get a “no”
I just had something challenging just come up yesterday at my work. This information has been very helpful. I feel a sense of relief
Thank you, Rick, for your guidance. You put a name to a special interaction that took place at work yesterday. My thanks to the One who loves us all for this revelation.
I think I’ll be replaying today’s work mindfulness challenge quite a few times. I’ve been ‘blocked’ for while now, so this session really helped me reshape how I am approaching my work. Thank you for your insights and suggestions. I’m deeply grateful. It’s very helpful.
Thankyou Rick ! I always love the thoughtfulness you bring !
I was struggling emotionally and this helped me to clarify why and with whom , and to resolve it by showing empathy to them ! I’m not sure how they’ll receive it but my offering was with love !
I’m going to merge this challenge with Rodro Linzler”s talk on making our living space inspiring. Since I’m nearing 80 years old, I do not go to work, but people would like me to entertain more often. This will be an offering from my heart to myself. While I like the idea of not being responsible for the result. So I guess if I fail in the challenge I can be mindful of what happened in the process. I’m thinking as I’m going along.
Thank you for the challenge.
A beautiful reframe of our work as offering which is freeing and changes the spirit of it. Thank you!
What a wonderful challenge to offer. I look forward to using this practice inward and to others this day. Hopefully more often as well.
That was very helpful for me (as are most of the talks and suggestions made here in this wonderful Mindful Livin Week). I indeed have some challenges in my work and will truly benefit from this new thougts and shift of attitude. Thank you!
I truly appreciate & admire your knowledge, wisdom & your ability to deliver most common challenges that most people encounter. Reframe work as an offering is such a positive attitude & particularly with a mindful approach we can make use of it not only at work but also in our society.
Dr Rick I have learnt so much ch on mindfulness, LK meditation together within the context of neuroscience, which has made me empowered & I share what I learn with varying target audiences free of charge. Participants love this partly due to inclusion of neuroscience. Thanks mainly to you I am able to do this service.
I have read some of your books, presentations you have delivered in many countries, currently following foundations of wellbeing .i am not aware of anybody who has shared so much knowledge online in this field.
I have just registered a charity in Sri Lanka “mindful Lanka Foundation”, to educate & inspire them to be happier, compassionate & kndness.
I aim to use what I learn from you to disseminate this messages on the website. I live 6 months in London & 6 m in Sri Lanka as I have devoted my retirement from my NHS job, UK, to serve the community.
May you be blessed with best of
You are sent to this world to transform lives & I wish you best of health & courage to serve our people. Much Metta

This is approach to work is helping me see chores and tasks in an entirely different light.
Letting go of the results after doing my bests is helpful too. I have let my desire for recognition cloud my thoughts and relations all too often.
Your presentation was a validation of a retreat I just completed. I am the offering. Whatever comes to me is an extension of who I am. I don’t have to worry or control what I do but instead just open my heart and let it flow through me as an offering. This feels peaceful and natural, unforced. My 9 month old granddaughter sat peaceful through your meditation, talking quietly in her own baby language. She got your message!
Offerings have been on my mind for some while. Your challenge this morning enabled me to recognise a context for offering that meant something to me. Thank you.
