This week’s
#mindfulminute 🤔 from
@resilienttoday:⠀
⠀
First, take a deep breath in and count to 5. Breathe it all out. Repeat 3x.⠀
⠀
Repeat this mantra 5x: My thoughts do not need to control the way I feel.⠀
⠀
Think about how you are feeling today. ⠀
⠀
Are you anxious, worried, unsettled, or angry? ⠀
Do you know why you might be feeling this way?⠀
Is it because of your thoughts 💭? ⠀
Are you anxious about the event you have next week?
Are you worried about getting the results from a loved one’s COVID test?⠀
Are you unsettled as you continue to work or study at home? ⠀
Are you angry because you had an unexpected conversation with an individual that upset you? ⠀
⠀
Notice that each of these negative feelings are tied to a thought. These feelings are tied to some thought about your past or future. ⠀
⠀
Now, try to focus on the moment. Notice how you feel good as you focus on your breath and on this exact moment. Notice how living in the present reduces thoughts about the past and future.⠀
