It's ✨MINDFUL MONDAY! ✨

This week we're writing a poem for the mother figures in our lives.

With mothers day being yesterday, perhaps you're inspired by the celebrations.

Whether you have been with your own mum, the person you call mum, or you are a mum, have a go at your own short poem using Karl Fuch's "What Mother Means".

💭What does "mother" mean to you?

Unconditional love? Protection? Your safe space?

🍀Happy St Patrick's Day!🍀

Whether you are celebrating or not today, we say make your own luck! You are in charge of your own fate!

Today is

This day is for celebrating the achievements of women.

This profound piece by Becky Hemsley captures the inner strength of a woman so perfectly and emotionally, we just had to share it.

Here's to the Rosa Parks', the Emmeline Pankhursts, the Mary Wollstonecraft's, the Florence Nightingales, the Amelia Earhart's and the Josephine Butler's of this world... just to name a few.

Hello and happy ✨MINDFUL MONDAY✨

This week's exercise is going to take a deep dive in to your thoughts and feelings.

⌚We're only going to be using the last hour from now... and write down in acute detail what you have been doing, what you were thinking and how you have been feeling.

🧠Even if all you have been doing is scrolling, you will have had so many different chains of thoughts and lots of feelings while doing this!

✍️There are a number of benefits to writing down your thoughts and feelings. Like so many of our exercises, writing things down helps to empty the mind and help you see things with a clear head. You may be able to interpret some underlying emotions, work out where they are coming from and process them in an effective way.

Perhaps you could use this exercise the next time you are feeling overwhelmed by a situation - do a deep dive of your actions, thoughts and feelings from that moment.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a therapist, hold yourself safely during this exercise and if you feel upset or triggered by anything - take the time out to reflect or come back to the exercise at another time when you feel more able to.

📖HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY📖

We want to know what your favourite book was when you were a child! Let us know in the comments!

I was in love with any Jacqueline Wilson book! My costume today would be Tracy Beaker! Who would you be if you were still at school?

📖MINDFUL MONDAY📖

This week is World Book Day!

So we're thinking about what our most recent favourite read is!

I've been getting my recommendations from TikTok or BookTok (if ya know, ya know) - and I've been loving the mystery / thriller genre. My favourite one so far has been Verity by Coleen Hoover.

💭For this week's exercise we want you to decide what your favourite read from 2022 was...

Then, take either a character, the setting or the storyline to use for this one.

✍️Write a synopsis for the prequel or sequel of your favourite book of 2022. Perhaps you won't want to stop and end up writing your own short story!

🧠Reading is exercise for your brain. It can help with mental health - studies have even found reading for 30 minutes a day helps stress levels just as much as yoga does!

📚We're encouraging you this week to make time to read. Escape your own world for an hour or two and immerse yourself in a new world!

❓Let us know in the comments what your favourite book is and what you're reading at the moment!

Are you being gentle with yourself?

Despite having goals and things we want to achieve, we must remember to be easy on ourselves. Keep working towards small, obtainable targets.

You are number 1. You are important. Your wellbeing is paramount.

Happy ✨MINDFUL MONDAY✨ people!

This week we're talking about lent!

📅Lent begins this Wednesday so we're asking if you are giving something up or starting something new?

Traditionally, lent is for giving something up to practice self discipline, but... there is nothing wrong with also using this time to pick up something new to practice for the 6 weeks!

This week's exercise is less of a one time exercise and more to do with creating a new habit during the next few weeks.

📝Whatever it is you are having a go at for lent, try and record your journey!

✍️Here are some writing prompts you could use to help you..

💭What is it you are giving up / starting?

💭Why have you chosen this?

💭How did today go?

💭What is most challenging?

💭Are you finding it rewarding?

💭Will you do anything different tomorrow?

By taking some time each day or even each week to write about your lent journey, it will help you reflect and keep you motivated. Even if you simply set aside 10 minutes at the end of each week to jot down how the week has gone, it may even help you keep mindful over this period.

It is day!

Small, kind gestures have the power to really transform someone's day!

What kind gestures have you received or given?

It is ✨MINDFUL MONDAY✨

In homage to valentines day tomorrow, we are using some self-love writing prompts to remind us how important WE are!

Valentines Day doesn't have to be about a significant other in your life. It can be a day that you take care of you and take some time to build that self-esteem.

We've put together some self-love writing prompts. Use them as part of your journaling or just a quick exercise to remind yourself how AMAZING you are!

✍️What are 3 strengths of yours that make you lovable?

❤️What are a few reasons that someone might be grateful for you? Your open mindedness? Your kindness? And what are some examples of the actions and behaviours that demonstrate these?

✍️What are your most unique qualities? This is what makes you special!

❤️What is your love language? Words of affirmation? Quality time? Gift giving / receiving? Acts of service? Or physical touch? How do you use this to make others feel special? (Visit 5lovelanguages.com to take the love language quiz! My top love language is words of affirmation. Tell us in the comments what yours is!)

Hopefully, you will be feeling the self-love this week and continuing to be gentle on yourself!
