Itâs a stressful time of year, so I thought we could do a stress-busting challenge in the community, to the acronym MEDS.
Mindfulness / Exercise & Movement / Diet / Sleep
This week is the âMâ
Mindfulness is being fully present and aware of whatâs happening right now â your thoughts, feelings, body, and surroundings â without judgment or distraction.
It is one of the best ways to deal with stress.
You can practice it by:
â
Deep breathing â my favorite is conscious breathing.
Breathe in through your nose for 4, hold for 4, breathe out through your mouth for 4, hold for 4. Do it at least 3 times.
â
Set reminders on your phone to pause and be mindful.
â
Yoga or tai chi.
â
Walking in nature and focusing on the here and now.
