FUN. Having fun is an important factor in our mental health. Having fun literally changes our body chemistry, reducing the stress hormone cortisol and releasing mood-boosting hormones like dopamine and endorphins. Fun can promote social connection, improve cognitive function, and build resilience.

CONSCIOUSNESS. To be conscious is to be aware, moving with intention. When we’re feeling overwhelmed or lost in the narrative, it can be helpful to pause, pull back to a wide angle lens, and observe our thoughts and emotions for what they are—just passing clouds in a clear blue sky of consciousness. Consciousness is everywhere and everything, including you.

"The coming to consciousness is not a discovery of some new thing; it is a long and painful return to that which has always been." —Helen Luke

GRATITUDE. Gratitude is the warm feeling of appreciation when we pause to recognize the positive aspects of life and the kindness or support we receive from others. Practicing gratitude can enhance well-being, improve relationships, and foster a more balanced outlook, even during challenging times. It's a powerful way to focus on what we have rather than what we lack.

SURRENDER. To surrender is not to give up or give in from a state of weakness. It takes a great amount of courage to surrender. Sometimes, we fight the battle out of habit, drawn to the drama of it all. While fighting for justice and change is needed, surrender can also be a wise choice.

In mindful presence,

"Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting." —Jack Kornfield
