Mindful Monday

Take some extra time to be present in the moment. With screens, social media, and everything else that distracts us on a daily basis, it can be difficult to slow down and enjoy the “now.”

  • Observe nature as if you were seeing its beauty for the first time.
  • Sit quietly and focus on your breathing to keep you in the present moment.
  • Slowly eat a treat you enjoy, taking time to experience why you like it.
  • Negative thoughts? Write down at least two good things that happened that day.
  • Take a moment to analyze your body. Sitting still, start from your toes and slowly move up to your forehead, analyzing every feeling or sensation you experience throughout the process.

  • Unplug for one hour; don’t let depressing news headlines distract you from the present beauty that is in the world.
