DeStress on Monday to Stay Calm and Positive All Week
We have weekly practices in breathing, mindfulness and positivity to refresh your mind on Monday and help you manage stress all week.
Weekly Practices
Self-massage has been touted by health and wellness experts as a soothing way to work out tension in your body. With a gentle touch, knowing the basics can melt away stress.
One of the best ways to become more grounded in the moment is to just pay attention to the sensations of your body and the environment around you.
Mindful listening keeps you present in the moment. It enables you to better understand what people are saying, physically and emotionally. So you engage in richer, more meaningful communication.
Change your focus to recall the positive this Monday for unexpected results. Savoring and focusing your thoughts on positive events is a way to shift to the positive and deflect stress.
The goal of the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique is to use the five senses to focus on the moment and avoid multiple anxious thoughts.
The next time you feel overwhelmed, take a trip to a local park, trail, or wooded area and focus on all of the sights, smells, and sounds of the world around you.
Deep breathing exercises are a great way to reduce stress - concentrate and breathe deeply for a minute with our square breathing GIF.
It’s always better to give rather than receive, especially when it comes to compassion. A small act of kindness, a compliment, a sign of appreciation has the power to immediately transform someone’s outlook.
