WELCOME TO WEEK 3!

A huge congratulations for getting this far. It's a real testament to your commitment and prioritisation of your own self care.

This is the week that people can often find the novelty wears off, so I encourage your to really re-connect with your intention for signing up to Mindful in May.

And of course remember... the key to a life long meditation practice is to know that as a human being, you WILL fall off track, but there is always the opportunity to begin again.

So be gentle with yourself, and keep going even if you miss a day here or there.

MINDFUL TIP:

Are you an incessant list-maker during meditation?

When you notice you’re in ‘doing’ mode and feel agitated or on edge, set a timer for three minutes before you meditate to ‘brain dump’ and get your to-do list down on paper. This can give you a sense of greater freedom and mental space before you sit down to meditate. Of course your mind won’t necessarily stop planning, but it may reduce the intensity of the list-making and allow you to settle into the practice with ease. Once your meditation is finished you can come back to your to-do list with increased calm and clarity.

Let us know your biggest takeaway from today's video interview and what you observed in today's meditation in the Facebook group or on instagram.
