Week 4 Mindfulness Challenge - take a walk in nature - get some fresh air- take a few deep breaths - take notice - take time to do a self check body scan, how are you feeling, where are you holding tense or tightness in your body - take notice of everything around you - use all your senses- what do you hear, what do you see, what can you smell - deep breaths, feet firmly on the ground - these actions can have a calming effect on the body, mind, and spirit! Stay in the moment, be at ease with yourself 😌🙌👣🌊🌦️🌎🌿💕

No3. Mindfulness Challenge ☀️😎🫶💪🙌
Breathing deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth, can help regulate your nervous system and calm feelings of panic!
Practiced regularly with some focused breathing, positive mental visualisation, and a dollop of gratitude…it can activate and refuel energy levels, often switching from negative to positive thoughts 💭 in the process!
The mind is a powerful tool, use it with compassion 💕✌️

Week 1 - Mindfulness Challenge
Hugs can have a beneficial effect on both mental and physical health. Hugs are linked to the release of endorphins which can help to reduce stress and pain, strengthen the immune system and enhance general wellbeing…don’t be afraid to reach out for a hug…
Breathe in, and breathe out, sometimes difficult roads can lead to beautiful destinations 👣🫶🤝🤗💯
