Being Mindful today is a chance to hone your practice, to give yourself another way to renew, recharge and rejuvenate.
Mindfulness can increase your capacity for self-awareness and self-control. It can help you feel more grounded. And while everyone can benefit from mindfulness, for people who have lived through trauma, mindfulness is a crucial skill for healing. It allows you to take on the work of healing in a healthy and sustainable way. It helps you stay connected to yourself and the physical world when the work of healing gets difficult. It rebuild self-awareness muscles.
Intention Setting Practice
Hello! As another week rolls in, let’s take a few moments to breathe into center and set our course for what lies ahead. Maybe you place one hand on your heart and tune into the beating of life inside of you. Perhaps you connect to the intake and outtake of your breath, welcoming in new beginnings, releasing what can be released from the past.
Take a moment to visualize your week (or day) ahead, and do so with an assets-based lens. In your mind’s eye, see all that you get to do this week. There are so many moments this week to breathe, to be kind, to receive love, to nurture yourself, to show up in alignment with your truth, to move your body.
As you consider your week / day ahead, what is one energy, quality, or trait you’d like to bring to your week that would help nourish you?
Practice: What is your intention for this week/day? How would you like to show up for yourself and others? Declare your intention.
Write them down too, if it helps
We encourage you to guide others in setting an intention for the week too!
Just so you know that, better parts of this article was taken from my training in the Breathe For Change. I am getting my 3rd certification for yoga teacher: Wellness, yoga, and social-emotional learning trainings for educators & leadersThis is well worth it if you are an educator or work with youth.
