Winter Wellness Challenge Week #2

WINTER WELLNESS CHALLENGE WEEK #2 - January 11-18th  |  MINDFULNESS

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?
Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which is will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won't). ~ James Baraz

BREATH
Breath in, hold for three seconds and exhale. Count seven breaths. 

SENSE YOUR SENSES
Choose one of your senses to focus on, and notice what you experience with only that sense. 

PRACTICE
Try a body scan. Close your eyes and focus on your breath as you bring your awareness to each body part from your head to toe.
