MINDFULNESS MONDAY:
This week we will focus inwards on our thoughts.
The mind is always thinking. When it is racing, set aside a few minutes to complete this activity.
A suggestion for the week:
• Come to a comfortable sitting position in a quiet space and close your eyes. Set a timer for 5 minutes.
• Observe the thoughts as they arise in the mind as if they were parade floats, coming and going.
MINDFULNESS MONDAY:
This week we have an affirmation for self-creation.
A suggestion for the week:
• Come to a comfortable sitting position and set a timer for 5 minutes.
• Repeat the following phrase noting any feelings or thoughts that may arise.
“I create who I become. My past is not a prophecy of my future. I love who I am becoming.”
MINDFULNESS MONDAY:
Whoops! Sorry this is late this week. 🙂
This week we are focusing on joy.
A suggestion for the week:
• Make a list of five things that bring you joy.
• Come to a comfortable position and set a timer for at least 5 minutes.
MINDFULNESS MONDAY:
Today we will be learning to counteract the stress response.
A suggestion for the week:
• Practice present moment awareness.
• Allow your body to decompress and soften into the present moment, taking deep full inhales and deep complete exhales.
• This will trigger a relaxation response in the body, diluting stress hormones and making your stressors more manageable.
