Hello Warriors, I want to remind you that your time matters. If you see a negative comment on social media don't worry and overthink the other 86,390 seconds of that day. Process your thoughts, observe them, feel them, but don't over focus or get stuck or hide thoughts or feelings. Remember your time matters. What will you do with it?
Remember being mindful is not reminding yourself to be mindful but to live in the moment authentically. Trains of thought will come and go. We are the observer of those thoughts. We can have emotions tied to thoughts, but we shouldn't focus or hide specific thoughts. This will lead to emotional outbursts and "uncontrolled" feelings. Remember to be in touch with you feelings, but not overwhelmed by them. Take a moment to be mindful.
Take a moment to get yourself grounded. If your thoughts have your head in the clouds and stress is over taking you remember these three tips:
Breathe - Always come back to the breath. The sensation of breathing can be enlightening
Take a walk - If you can get outside, we are not meant to be cooped up inside nonstop. Take a 10 minute walk with fresh air to clear you mind
Break up your stresses into smaller pieces. - You cannot do everything NOW. Things will be less overwhelming if you take one step at a time.
What is SEL again?
According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), SEL is the process through which children and adult understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions.
