Mindful Mondays

Thought:

“The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That’s all there ever is.”
Eckhart Tolle

Tip:

“The goal of calming exercises is to get yourself from “flight, fight or freeze” mode back to “rest and digest” mode. Deep breathing helps get more oxygen into your bloodstream, opening up your capillaries. It has a physical effect on your body to help you calm down and lower stress.”

Thanks:

I am learning to show gratitude for the little things. Today, I am thankful for snuggles with Ollie and serenades from Rhys, hair that didn’t frizz in this afternoon’s torrential downpour and an amazing cup of Madagascar Vanilla Latte. What are you thankful for?
