Welcome to Day 24

One of the easiest ways to distract our minds from the noise and clutter around us is to take our minds to our bodies.

By focusing our attention on our bodies we give our reptilian brain something to focus on other than the worry of the day or any issues that may be preoccupying you for even just a moment.

You can do this, either sitting or lying down. Just take 5 minutes away from whatever you are doing and go somewhere quiet.

Close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths in and out.

Then work from the top of your head down to the tips of your feet. And slowly work down your body, and notice any tenseness or feelings that come up. As you notice any tenseness or feelings just breathe into them deeply and move onto the next body part.

This is so simple but so effective in helping you connect with yourself. Try it!
