Day 3 Mindfulness Challenge

Hello!

Welcome to Day Three of our Mindfulness Challenge.

Today's practice is HERE.

I encourage you to take pauses during your day to practice mindfulness. It doesn't have to be long or formal. It could be a minute of sitting and breathing using one of our breathing techniques.

As always, maintain compassion for yourself in this process, and remember why you want to practice mindfulness - your why!

If you have questions or just want to get together to encourage each other in the challenge, come to our Zoom meeting, Wednesday, January 11th at

11 a.m.

The Zoom code is:

Here's a poem of self-compassion.

Just For Now

by Donna Faulds

Just for now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness.

Just for now, lay down the

weight you so patiently

bear upon your shoulders.

Feel the earth receive

you, and the infinite

expanse of sky grow even

wider as your awareness

reaches up to meet it.

Just for now, allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience.

Breathe out

whatever blocks you from

the truth. Just for now, be

boundless, free, awakened

energy tingling in your

hands and feet. Drink in

the possibility of being

who and what you really are

so fully alive that when you

open your eyes the world

looks different, newly born

and vibrant, just for now.
