Healthy Lifestyle Challenge

Embrace Mini-Meditations

Adam’s tips to complete this week’s challenge:

1. Sit comfortable with your feet on the floor.

2. Slowly breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Fill your lungs from the bottom up like a water jug. Commit to a good exhale with each breath.

3. Choose a word that has some soothing significance to you and say it to yourself each time you breathe out.

4. Allow yourself to get lost in this rhythmic breathing and your key word for a few minutes. Throughout the time feel stress drop from your shoulders and your body with each breath.

5. After five minutes, return your focus to the world around you – feeling a renewed energy and clarity of mind.

Mini-Meditation Goal – Find three times each day to settle yourself and practice your mini-meditation.
