Thank you so much for allowing me space in your inbox and life. I am a zero-inbox human, having run 5 accounts for someone else in a previous life, so I really am grateful.
​
To say thank you, I have collated a few mindfulness techniques for you to try, categorised by how you might be feeling on the stress steps.
Mind Vacation
Take a deep breath in, like a wave rolling onto a beautiful beach. As you exhale, let the wave roll back out.
Now, take a moment to explore this place with your senses. Feel the warm sun on your skin and the soft sand beneath your feet. Listen to the gentle sound of the waves, and smell the salty air.
Hold this peaceful feeling for a moment. When you are ready, gently open your eyes.
Energised & Focused
A Gratitude Moment
Find yourself a quiet space and take a deep breath. Now scan your mind back over the week and think about a person, a place, an experience, and a belonging that you are grateful for. As you think of each one, gently place your hand over your heart. When you are ready, gently open your eyes.
Without thinking to much about it, tense your hands into fists, hold for a count of 2 and release completely. Repeat with your feet, bum, face and then finish by tensing your whole body, hold and release.
Using one or both hands, tap your thumb against your little finger, then your ring finger and so on. Go at any speed that feels good and as many taps as you like before switching fingers.
Turn your left hand so the palm is facing you, then trace around the edge of your hand starting at the base of the thumb with your right index finger. As your finger travels up, breath in, as it dips back towards your palm, breath out. Continue until you have traced the whole hand a few times.
Sit comfortably and look around the space you are in, tune into your senses and label:
5 things you can see
4 things you can hear
3 things you can touch
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
