Monday May Mindfulness Challenge
Introducing my new Mindfulness Challenge for the month of May! I will share different ways you can include more mindfulness into your daily life through different topics.
“The whole world opens when we accept this moment, this very moment.”—Deepak Chopra
Welcome to my first challenge for the month of May! Every coming Monday this month I will release a new blog discussing one of the following topics in detail to provide you with some helpful tools to increase mindfulness:
- Slow the Chew: How eating slower can increase mindfulness and aid in optimal health.
- Cold showers, cold plunges and cryotherapy: Why your body needs and seeks uncomfortable situations to grow and sharpen the mindful mind.
- Be Water: How to develop and grow into your own yoga flow.
- The Power of Meditation: How to use the present moment to shape what you want out of life.
- Walks in Nature: How science has developed a theory based on Japanese practices of forest bathing to heal the mind and body
There are gratefully, five Mondays in this month of May so we will be able to cover five unique concepts of mindfulness.
What’s beautiful about the month of May is the energy it brings with just the thought of it. Immediately you can’t help but think of a big bouquet of flowers with different pastel colors or the butterflies and bumblebees coming out again to love on the foliage. The way life begins again in a cyclical nature is a glorious time and allows us to reflect on our own journeys and cycles of life.
I tell people all the time how funny it is living in a place where it is the same climate at all times because you almost lose track of what month it is; no longer having that anticipation of the snow melting in April to finally bring you the summer or the trees dying in October to bring you into winter. But I remember the transitional month of May and the way I was speeding through life just to bring me to those warmer months. Similarly, we do that in our own individual lives. Speeding through the bad or anticipating the end of some sort of set back in order to bring us to some glorious end result or feeling of comfortability again.
Through mindfulness practices you learn about the power of the present moment, and how practicing this concept through different modalities will grant you peace to exist in the darker times, with benevolence and gratitude for just being where you are now.
I am so grateful to help guide you through this transitional time and I hope you pick up some helpful tips along this journey.
