I have been thinking a lot about mindfulness. Meditation. Gratitude. Nature. Peace. These days are often heavy...working from home, supporting kids through virtual learning, not seeing friends & family, trouble getting groceries, the flu, car troubles, exhaustion & fatigue, health worries, lots of unknowns, financial concerns, global pandemic, ...you name it! One of the greatest gifts helping me through this, allowing me to reconnect with myself and a sense of calm, is mindfulness. Being present in just this one moment without entertaining a slew of "what ifs". Actually, I recently posted:
I have been trying to practice meditations daily too. Some days I've even meditated more than once. It is very calming and again, has you focusing on this very moment - the breath - the place where peace can be found.
Meditating, walking in nature, singing, dancing, practicing gratitude, taking a bath or shower, baking or cooking, planting...these activities all keep us in the present moment. HAVE THESE KINDS OF MOMENTS!
Do you practice gratitude? Do you write it down? Share aloud?
Do you exercise? From inside your home or in the neighborhood?
Are you getting fresh air every day?
Are you feeding your body healthy foods?
Are you listening to your body?
Are you sleeping enough?
Drinking water?
Hugging?
I have found all of these things to be helpful; and encourage you to explore these moments. I am here if you need any support or encouragement for adopting healthy habits. Feel free to send me an email!
