So many of us are glad to have the holidays over with so we can get back to our routines and our familiar schedules, but at the same time we have (hopefully) created intentions for what we want to have new in our lives. How do we cultivate our intentions so that they become as familiar to us as our schedules? By deepening our awareness of self. Here are some practices to help you get in touch with "you":
- Stop and notice the quality of your breathing. Take a moment to slow down, breathe slowly in and then slowly out. Keep doing this until you are calm and present.
- Consciously CHOOSE how you want your day to go.
- End your day by noting 5 things you were grateful for.
- Begin to add something to your life that you once enjoyed doing but stopped because you "didnt have time". Make the time.
- Choose a daily habit or routine and perform it slowly and mindfully.
- You have the choice to feed yourself nourishing thoughts or listening to yourself ramble the same old jive. Notice the difference between them and make a choice.
