After a bought of anxiety this week and high levels of uncertainty I decided to follow a yoga practice this morning focused on breathing and letting go. The practice highlighted allowing yourself to be distracted by thoughts, but treating yourself with compassion, speaking kindly to yourself, knowing you are doing your best and bringing yourself back to a sense of calmness and clarity.
It left me thinking 💭
Once, I focused on my breathing I was able to gain more clarity and stumbled across certain thoughts that I want to share with you.
3 Things I would like you to take a moment of calm to notice, think internally, externally or write down whatever manifestation of thought works best for you.
1) Notice something today that totally energises you, something that gives you happiness, drives your passion and gives you that buzz! Those warm fuzzies and pushes your focus towards manifesting positivity and productivity.
2) Notice something you are truly grateful for, in this moment or in this day. Something small or something bigger. A person, a feeling, an accomplishment, a thing. Focus on the radiating happiness that follows it and what it allows you to do.
3) Finally… Notice what is not working for you. How can you successfully shift the negativity of this to positivity and productivity. How can this thing make a graceful exit and how can you learn something from it. Be kind to yourself with this one. It is 100% OK to recognise when something isn’t bringing you mental clarity, peace or if something isn’t helping you to progress mentally, physical or spiritually. Get rid of it.
To conclude, ending in a similar way to which I began. Today is a fresh day, you are doing your very best. Take time to breathe, reflect and celebrate. Be still. Be mindful & be kind to yourself and others.
