Here’s to a good week!
Remember to take pauses throughout each day.
Pause, Notice, Settle…

We need to take breaks and remind ourselves to breathe.
Here are a few quick mindfulness exercises. Try one.
Try them all…
-Yawn and stretch for 10 seconds every hour.
-Close your eyes and stroke your hands.
-Mindfully breathe for one minute. Notice where you feel your breath. When your mind wanders, as it will, bring your attention back to your breath.
-Smile. Sometimes this is all we need. When you see others, smile at them. You can even see a smile through a mask, because you can see the sparkle in people’s eyes.
Wishing you a Mindful Monday!
