Positive Vibes.

Let’s keep the positive vibes flowing… this journal will highlight all of the positive things about YOU. That’s right! YOU. This entry, I challenge you to write down 5-10 things you love about yourself, or are really good at! :) Again, journaling this should help to improve your overall mood and focus; it can also help to drain out the negative, and provide you with a new (and more supportive) perspective on yourself entirely. Below, you will find a few things I love most about myself/things I am really good at:

1. My creativity

2. My time management/organizational skills

3. The way I love/care for people

4. My mindset

5. My ability to empathize and understand others

FYI: you can do this regularly; it is especially beneficial in the morning time, when you first get up; to again, help you to reframe your mind and focus on the good stuff!

SMILE. BREATHE IN LOVE, EXHALE HATE.

Mindful Movement 2- April 10, 2020

Sun Salutation (B).

Hi there! Below, you will find another short video on a basic 'sun salutation,' variance B. Just like sun A, these simple movements can help you just flush your body/mind of stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions that might be floating inside of you during these unsettling times. Remember, sync your breaths as best you can with each movement... starting with an inhale as you begin to move-- hint: you will hear me start with this in the video. Again, you can practice this whenever you want, and however many times you want! And, if you need modifications (like in high plank, just bring your knees back down to the floor, just as I showed you in the sun A post!) Modifications in movement are A-OKAY!

So, whatever works for you-- you do! And, practice safely please :)

And, just like last time, sit down, either cross legged or on your shins, and slow your breath down. Complete your own personal 'mantra' (see previous post, mindful movement 1 for clarification) to seal in your movement, and thank yourself for taking the time to move/practice. Here is another one I like a lot:

I. AM. POWERFUL.

Think of your mood/the situation we are all in in 10 emoji's or less... if you do not have your own personal phone/access to emojis, feel free to sketch/draw them (this might be even more therapeutic to you)... Be creative & then share this with a friend/family member :)

BE. WELL.
