Mindfulness
Definition
In MPS, we are defining mindfulness as the "purposeful awareness of our thoughts, emotions, physical feelings, and environment in the present moment, without judgment."
Self-Care
Take a walk outside... really notice the sensations of your feet as they touch the ground, the smells you notice in the air, and the feeling of the sun on your skin.
Engage in 30 minutes of light to moderate exercise that you enjoy.
Set aside some quiet time, listen to some relaxing music, color a picture, read a book.
Make sure your diet is balanced and filled with fresh, healthy foods that leave you feeling nourished.
Keep a gratitude journal. Choose a time of day that you plan to write down at least three things for which you feel grateful.
