  Curious about shaping your "Future Self"? Grab a pen and let's set on this transformative journey! Laying the roadmap to our ideal future starts with understanding our present. And, there's no better way than documenting our thoughts in a journal. I was taught to journal by my Mentor morning and night as part of her 3 step system. Journaling is not only a sanctuary for thoughts but also a tool for self-discovery & growth. By writing down our everyday thoughts, we create a mirror that reflects patterns, dreams, fears, hopes- everything that makes us, 'us.' This intense comprehension is step one in molding your future self. So why Journal? Imagine trying to navigate through a city without a map. It's easier when you have clear directions, right? Consider each journal entry as marking a point on this life-map. Over time, a pattern emerges, articulating who we are and giving shape to who we aspire to become. Today’s activity: Start by writing down every ...

  Tripping over negativity? Time to hit the brakes! Welcome to Day 3 of our path towards emotional wellness: Mindfulness & Negative Emotions. Practicing mindfulness is the secret sauce to managing and ultimately conquering negative emotions. It transforms us into observers rather than participants of our own mind, helping create mental space between 'you' and 'what you are feeling'. Yes, it’s about being present , but it's also about contemplating such presence with a non-judgmental lens. Non-judgmental awareness and acceptance are mighty tools. They break the cycle of negativity , making room for inner peace. With mindfulness, whatever emotion that crops up; instead of dwelling or trying to suppress it, you simply acknowledge it - without judgement, watch it come and go, like clouds in the sky Say goodbye to emotional autopilot and learn to accept your feelings without wrestling with them. It may sound tough but bear with us. Today’s activity : Take out a ...

  Are you familiar with the Power of Pause? Our exciting new journey starts today, embracing a practice that deeply nourishes the body, mind, and spirit – Mindfulness. Tracing its roots back to Buddhist philosophy, mindfulness is the art of being fully present in each moment. It involves observing our thoughts, feelings, and emotions without judgment, and instead focusing wholly on the ‘here and now’. In today’s bustling lifestyle that often leaves us in overwhelm, practicing daily mindfulness brings tranquility and clarity. It reconnects us to ourselves, enabling a deeper appreciation of life. Here's a small exercise for Day 1: Dedicate just five minutes of your day to be quiet and still. Focus on your breath as it goes in and out - if your mind drifts, gently bring your attention back to your breath. Let’s embark on this journey together. Follow along and integrate mindfulness into your everyday routine, one day at a time! #MindfulnessPractice #PresentMoment #WellnessJourney ...
