Hi Thinking out loud here
This week is a catch-up week, but like every week we will begin with a little breather to let go of any stress, anxiety and start the week feeling regenerated and ready for what is ahead of us. As always though if you do have any breathing problems, please skip this part and do what relaxes you before getting into this week's mental health Monday.
Like every week we will do three deep breaths in each with a hold then a breath out. Let all the air out, and slowly breath in through your nose and hold for five seconds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, exhale through your mouth, hold for five seconds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Second breath in through your nose, hold for five seconds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, exhale through your mouth and hold for five seconds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Third and final deep breath take a breath in through your nose, hold for five seconds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, exhale through your mouth and hold for five seconds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Now find your natural breathing pattern and breath as you usually do now you are relaxed.
I hope everyone has had a lovely start to the week, if it’s been hectic I hope you have managed to find some form of calm, within the mayhem. I hope you’ve managed to take some time out for yourself and given yourself the space for a little bit of self-care, we all need it especially now more than ever, don’t let the self-care stop once the crazy times are over. It’s so vital for not only how we feel, but how we act, treat others most importantly ourselves and how we take on what is happening around us.
I hope you are kind to yourself, as you are to others, don't be hard on yourself if you have missed something during your day, know that that thing you needed to do will still be there, maybe even write a list and tick as you go. What you don't get around to doing today, leave until tomorrow and know that every day starts over, it's always a fresh start. For the love of life leave the stresses of yesterday leave them behind don't bring them into your present as they don't serve you for today, or tomorrow, they will only ever have served in your yesterday.
I hope today and this week is kind to you, and in turn, you are also kind to you, thank you as always for reading this blog post, I am forever grateful for every read I get.
Let's end with another three deep breaths for the start of a fantastic week.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and hold for three seconds 1, 2, 3, and breath out through your mouth hold for three seconds 1, 2, 3. Second breath in through your nose and hold for three seconds 1, 2, 3, and out through your mouth and hold for three seconds 1, 2, 3. Last breath in through your nose hold for three seconds 1, 2, 3, final breath out through your mouth and hold for three seconds 1, 2, 3. Now find your regular breath pattern, be present with it as it guides you through the day.
Thank you again. Love always Thinking out loud xx :D
