​This next weekend is the full moon, and it’s a great time to celebrate what’s good in our lives! 

From weather changes, to new accomplishments, to finding a reason to smile... we each have at least one thing we can celebrate. 

Taking time to celebrate allows you to slow down from the hustle that life can be. It also brings into focus what you want to see more of. So when you feel yourself getting caught up in busyness and negativity... stop to count your blessings. 

Drop one of your reasons to celebrate below so we can join in the party! 🥳

​Scents have a direct channel to the memory part of our brains. Have you ever caught a whiff of a certain food cooking, and been brought back to a happy moment from childhood? They also have a powerful effect on our emotions. So let’s travel down memory lane with a few happy scents. 

Can you recall a scent that makes you feel warm and cozy?

Can you recall a scent that feels like summer?

Can you recall a scent that makes you feel like a teenager again?

Can you recall a scent that feels like your favorite holiday?

Can you recall a scent that makes you feel energized and alert?

Can you recall a scent that makes you feel relaxed and luxurious?

What emotions did these bring up? What are a few more scents you can think of?

​The waning moon phase is a time when our energy is winding down. You may find yourself taking naps and wanting more rest. This week, make some space in your schedule for rest! Maybe a luxurious mid-day nap, or even just some time without notifications or conversation. Stillness is good for the soul. 😴

What’s your favorite way to rest?

​If you’re like us, winter has you missing the warm, sunny rays and gently lapping waves of the beach. When winter stress builds up, try Wave Breathing to help soothe frazzled nerves. Feel free to picture yourself lying on a beach if it relaxes you!

As with all breath-work, stop immediately and return to normal breath if you become dizzy or don’t feel well. We do not recommend this breath-work while driving. 

Sit or lie down comfortably. Your inhales and exhales will be the same length, without any break between. Inhale for 7 seconds, exhale for 7 seconds... immediately repeat 10 times without breaks (or until you feel more relaxed). 

Spend some time in normal, relaxed breath when finished.

​Many people think that mindfulness or meditation mean you have a completely clear mind, with no distractions. For most of us, that’s just not possible! When you’re working on mindfulness or meditation, distractions will happen... whether internal or external. Acknowledge them, and release them. This “cell phone notification” analogy helps put it in perspective: send those thoughts to voicemail!

​Sometimes the world gets hectic, and we lose touch with our physical selves. Grounding helps bring you back down into your body, so you can feel calmer and more present. Try using this quick activity when stress starts to get to you!

This week is full of reminders of Valentine’s Day, which can have mixed feelings for many of us. Regardless of your relationship status, it’s always a good idea to spend some time building your self-love. We can’t pour from an empty cup, so fill your cup with kindness and love. Feeling great? Spread the love to friends and loved ones. 🥰 Drop a comment below and let us know... what’s one thing you love about yourself?

If you’re in the US, chances are you had a lot of snow over the weekend! I like to surround myself with cozy things when it snows, so today’s Mindful Monday plays into that. Brew a cup of tea and make it a game to see how many different things you can sense. The sound of the water bubbling, the colors of the tea leaves, the steam caressing your face, how the mug feels in your hand, etc. Prefer coffee or a smoothie for your morning? That works too! Just be present and soak up all the nourishing feelings!

​Be curious about the voice of another person today. Is their voice gentle or harsh? Unsure or confident? Fast or slow? Melodic or monotone? What feelings does their voice create in you?

​When world events get chaotic, it can be easy to detach from our bodies. Grounding to your physical body can help you feel calmer. So take a few moments today to actively connect with your body with this exercise.
