Ok, it’s no secret that finding time for mindfulness and self care can be hard at any time of the year, but often in the middle of the year when you don't know if you're coming or going, it can feel especially difficult.
BUT it can be made so much easier when you have some fun mindfulness activities that can be enjoyed with ease.
Here are our 5 favourites!
#1 - Gratitude Practice
Take a moment each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for. Write them down in a gratitude journal or simply mentally acknowledge and appreciate the positive aspects of your life.
#2 - Mindful Walking
Take a stroll on the mindful side! Mindful walking is all about soaking up the present moment. Feel the ground beneath your feet, notice the rhythm of your steps, and embrace the sights and sounds around you. Get ready for some chill vibes, relaxation, and a newfound appreciation for the beauty around you.
#3 - Colouring
Yes, colouring is not just for kids! It's time to unleash your creative side and find your calm. Grab those colouring pencils or markers and let the magic begin. As you dive into those intricate patterns, feel yourself getting lost in the moment. Colouring brings relaxation, banishes stress, and lets you express yourself artistically without any pressure.
#4 - Mindful Eating
Time to treat your taste buds with a mindful feast! Forget scarfing down meals on autopilot. Mindful eating is about savouring every bite. Engage your senses, relish the flavours, textures, and aromas. By slowing down and truly experiencing your food, you'll build a stronger mind-body connection, improve digestion, and develop a healthier relationship with food.
#5 - Journaling
Get ready to spill the beans and explore your thoughts! Journaling is your personal outlet for self-reflection. Write down your experiences, emotions, and ideas. It's a way to get to know yourself better, work through challenges, and celebrate your wins. Journaling brings clarity, reduces stress, and helps you grow as a person.
