🩵Very much so

❄️How do you practice?
🩵A friend chooses a guided YouTube meditation for me each morning and emails it to me.
🩵I have a few apps I like for breath work & meditation.
🩵I have an online yoga teacher who gears classes & talks to students with chronic illnesses

IndoorDame ❄️Start with something that feels easy to tune into - like the tactile sensation of washing the dishes, or the sounds on your daily walk… then try to tune into that thing every day 4mo

AllDebooks These are great answers. It took me a while to get into it. I found the easiest way was focusing on my morning drink, the smell, heat, taste, it's a fab way to start the day x 4mo

🍁 Do you practice mindfulness?
🍁 How do you relax?
🍁 Do you practice self-care regularly?
🍁 What do you enjoy doing most to help quieten your mind and switch off?
🍁 Does any of the above change with the seasons?

Please share your thoughts/tips. Maybe we will pick up something new to try.

gossamerchild I recently discovered the power of Vitamin D. I know that sounds silly, but apparently that makes a big impact on how well you sleep/feel rested. So that's my biggest self-care tip. I'm not good at mindfulness-I'm constantly anxious about the future and sad about the past. Reading helps me, as well as exercise when I'm feeling up to it. And embroidery-that's a COVID hobby I picked up and it works really well to center me. 6mo

julieclair I would like to cultivate a mindfulness habit. Daily meditation or something like that. For relaxation I like to do audiopuzzling. Listening to an audiobook while doing a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. 6mo

AllDebooks @gossamerchild Vit D is essential to get you thru the darker months. I bought a SAD lamp and that helped enormously. Great that you keep yourself busy to refocus your mind away from anxiety x 6mo

AllDebooks @julieclair Great tip. I've just started getting into puzzles too. 6mo

I had a lot of fun with #SelfImprovementSept (Today - Mindfulness and Self-Reflection). Thank you both, @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @OriginalCyn620 , for a very thoughtful photo challenge. It was definitely a feel-good month with that much self-reflection, self-affirmation, self-love and mindfulness.😉 I‘m floating high from this long look in the mirror and saturation of self-awareness, the world around me and my footprint 👣 in it!💕

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you for playing ❤️ It was a great month!! 5y

OriginalCyn620 So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing along! 🙌🏻😊❤️ 5y
