Self-Care Seed of the Day #14: Reach Out 🤳

Have you been wanting to reconnect with a friend, but you’ve both been extremely busy?

“What would I even say if I did text them?” 🤔

👉 Try this:

The next time you see something that reminds you of your friend, just send them a picture and tell them you’re thinking of them. 🏞️

Some examples include:
📸 A photo of their favorite flowers from a local garden
📸 A screenshot of you streaming their favorite album
📸 A picture of a place you and they used to hang out together

This is a nice way to show you’re thinking of them, and it only takes a few seconds.

It will brighten both your days and make you feel more connected!

🔔 Remember: Social connection is the biggest factor in long-term health and happiness.

This is one quick way to prioritize it.

Self-Care Seed of the Day #13: Pause and Savor 🍓

Today, take a moment to pause and be present as you eat a snack or meal. 😋

The goal is to focus on your senses and give the mind a break from the pressure of accomplishing tasks.

👉 Try this:
Start by picking one food to focus on - a fruit, a piece of chocolate, etc. 🍫

1️⃣ Just observe the food, noticing the color and texture. 👀

2️⃣ Think about the process it took for this food to get to you. Did it start as a seed? Or as many different ingredients? 🌱

3️⃣ Smell the food, and try to note as many scents as you can (sweet, tart, etc). 👃

4️⃣ The best part… Put it in your mouth and savor the initial flavor, noting how the taste and texture evolve as you chew it. 👅

This mindfulness exercise not only brings happiness (who doesn't want a mid-day chocolate or fruit?), but it also relaxes the mind by giving it a break from the stress of every action needing to contribute to a larger goal.

Self-Care Seed of the Day #12: Garden Walk⛲️

Gardens and green spaces in your area can be great locations to stimulate mindfulness and a sense of peace.

Try this:
🪷 Find a garden or green space that's convenient.
- outside your office
- near the restaurant you're going to
- or even the garden center at a nearby store

Pick a day and designate 5-10 minutes to go there and walk. 🚶‍♀️‍➡️

🌺 As you walk, make an intentional effort to notice the different flowers and other plants, maybe stopping to observe them closer or smell them.

Take note of the surrounding area as well — the weather, sky, trees, etc. 🌳

🚨 If any negative thoughts or emotions arise, DON’T try to fight them.

…Simply let them come and pass, gently guiding the mind back to the plants in the garden. 🌱

💭 You might note, "I feel stressed when I think about _blank_, but right now l'm focusing on the flowers, which bring me joy."

This mindfulness activity can be done anytime and is a great way to restore focus and ease.

🌍 Mindfulness Around the World, Stop 6: Keyif in Turkey ☺️🇹🇷

👉 refers to "meaningful idleness" -
intentionally seeking out moments of doing nothing.

The point is to
- enjoy a moment of pleasure,
- fully take it in, and
- really separate it from the busy rhythm of the day.

❓What can we learn?

It's ok to pause and just *be* without having to engage in an activity! 😌

It may take a few practices to train your mind to be fully present, but the more often you do it the easier it'll become. 🧠

⭐️ Today, consider:
- Watching the sunset from your back porch or window 🌅
- Getting on the floor to enjoy a moment with your pet 🐈
- Observing a piece of artwork in or near your home in more detail than you have before, allowing yourself to get lost in the colors and shapes 🖼️

Self-Care Seed of the Day #11: Learn Something New! 🤓

Remember how it felt to let your curiosity run free as a child? 🪐

It felt exciting to wonder about the world and ask questions. 🙋‍♀️

Nurturing that child inside you can actually be a beneficial self-care tool. 🧒

👉 Try this:

The next time you have some down time, instead of scrolling or checking messages…

‼️ Use the internet to learn something new about a topic you're interested in.

It doesn't have to be related to your job or studies - just something you want to know more about! 😱

"How do they make pencils?" ✏️
"How did the Olympics start?" 🥇
"What colors can my dog see?" 🐶
“What causes ocean tides?” 🌊

But…

🤷 How is this self-care?

Using your phone to engage your mind will leave you feeling less overstimulated, because you're focusing on something that makes you happy or curious and not just being fed random content.

Asking a question and then finding the answer is satisfying to your brain. It works out your cortex while leaving you feeling accomplished and, hopefully… hungry to learn more! 🌌

🌏 Mindfulness Around the World, Stop 5: Forest Bathing in Japan 🌳🇯🇵

Forest bathing, also known as “shinin-yoku”, is the concept of spending time in to experience , , and a break from our technology-filled life.🫸📱

❓What can we learn?

If you've been feeling unmotivated, anxious, or burnt out, some physical movement and time in nature might be what you need to relax and refocus. 🚶🦋

⭐️ Today, consider:
- Taking a walk at the local park and noticing how it feels to be so small in comparison to the vast forest 🌲
- Getting a bird feeder for your backyard and spending a few minutes watching the wildlife 🐦‍⬛
- Choosing outdoor seating the next time you go out for lunch or dinner. 🍽️

Self-Care Seed of the Day #10: Mindfulness Break 😮‍💨

⏸️ Oftentimes, we go through a busy day without ever stopping to take a break. Even in stressful or emotional moments, we don't pause to calm back down.

👉 Try this:

1️⃣ When you feel yourself getting stressed or overwhelmed, take a 5 minute break at your desk, outside, or anyplace quiet you can find.

2️⃣ Close your eyes, and try to find something you can focus on with each of your five senses - one at a time. 👁️👂👃😋🫱
- For example, you hear the sound of the air conditioning, then you feel your seat beneath you, then you smell an air freshener, etc.

This is an easy way to prioritize your mental health a little more each day, allowing yourself to feel more focused and at ease!

❤️ 😌

🌍 Mindfulness Around the World, Stop 4: Laughter Yoga in India 🤣

This practice may sound a bit silly, but it’s a great way to “trick” your brain into feeling happier. 😉

In laughter yoga you do exercises that require fake laughing because voluntarily laughing provides the same benefits to the brain as genuinely laughing.

❓What can we learn?
Encouraging yourself to smile and laugh even when you aren’t in a humorous mood can ground you in the present moment and relieve stress.

⭐️ Today, consider:
* Smiling to yourself and laughing when something small makes you happy, even if it doesn’t prompt you to naturally laugh
* Forcing yourself to laugh at the next minor inconvenience you experience (pretend you’re watching a comedy about someone who just knocked a whole jar of pens onto the floor)
* Laughing along with a jolly laughter yoga instructor on YouTube for 5 minutes

Self-Care Seed of the Day #9: Reality Check Journal 🙅‍♀️

It's easy for our imaginations to get carried away when we're experiencing a lot of anxiety.

We often tell ourselves false stories about past events and current situations, creating unnecessary pain.

One way to help change these thought patterns is to write in a journal — it doesn't take more than 5 minutes.

👉 Try this:

1️⃣ Spend about 2 minutes doing a brain dump - write down whatever anxious thoughts are on your mind.

2️⃣ Write a reality check, or the truth of the situation.

Your reality check might sound like, "I will still have a good job even if I don't get this promotion," or "my friend isn't trying to shut me out, she has a lot of stressful things in her life right now."

Make a habit of doing this when your anxious thoughts become overwhelming.

👉 Not only does it calm your mind in the moment, but it helps train the mind to do its own reality check without needing to write.

✔️🔐

🌍 Mindfulness Around the World, Stop 3: Cacao Ceremonies in Costa Rica 🍫🇨🇷

In Costa Rica, cacao ceremonies are spiritual, healing activities which involve many people gathering to drink cacao and connect more deeply with themselves and each other.

❓What can we learn?

These ceremonies originated partially due to the nutritional benefits of the cacao plant itself (unlike the sugary chocolates we eat today).

That being said, taking the time to simultaneously nourish your body and connect with people can boost your mental and physical health. 🌱

⭐️ Today, consider:
- Creating a tradition of drinking coffee or tea (or hot chocolate!) with your partner in the morning
- Inviting a couple friends or family members over to cook a nutritious dinner and enjoy it together
- Bringing some chocolates to enjoy with friends or coworkers at lunch
