Hi, Thinking Out Loud here :D
Welcome to Mindful Monday, Week 37



Here is the link for this week's playlist. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4HQAPdFDealvkHvI4Oskqq?si=ac86e8afb65f4b4e 

I hope you enjoy listening whilst you read, and I hope you find the music relaxing. 

If an ad plays, please stop reading and wait for the playlist to play again. The playlist will be timed for you to read to the end of this blog post, with maybe one song running over after reading. 


Get a drink, maybe even a snack, and find a comfy seat so you can relax. Let go of all worries and enjoy the next five deep breaths. Please prepare for the first breath in by breathing out.

Now time for your first deep breath; take one deep breath in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1..2.. Breathe out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1... Breathe in for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1..2.. And out for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1... Breathe in for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1..2.. And out for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1... Two more to go; breathe in for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1..2.. And out for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1... Last one, deep breath in for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1..2.. And out for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1... Now go back to your regular breathing pattern. I hope you feel calm and relaxed.


Fierce 

By Freya A Hatfield


Stand your ground, be strong,

Don’t let the world change who you are,

Be fierce, stay true to who is on the inside,

Don’t quiver or shake when life gets a little hard,

It’s ok to be a little scared, but don’t let it hold you back,

Be fierce, be proud of everything you have achieved,

Tamed or untamed, let your voice be heard above the crowd,

Let it be as loud as you want it to be, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise,

Be fierce, let love in, let love grow, and let it be the best thing you’ve ever had,

If something isn’t right, don’t waste your time; move on to better things,

Don’t stay stuck on things that happened in the past; live for today and the future,

Be fierce, grab opportunities as they come and when they feel right for you,

Like a lion, be strong, powerful, brave, courageous, proud, and keep loved ones close,

Life can be challenging, but knowing you have loved ones near can make it easier,

Be fierce, always stay true to who you are, and be proud of who you are,

Always be fierce with anything and everything you do.


Let's finish with a three-deep breath breather.

Take one deep breath in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1..2.. Breathe out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1... Breathe in for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1..2.. And out for five 1..2..3..4..5..  Hold for 1... Final breath in for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1..2.. Last breath out for five 1..2..3..4..5.. No hold here; you can now go back to your regular breathing pattern.


As always, thank you for taking the time to read this week's Mindful Monday. I really do appreciate everyone who takes the time to read them and listens to what I have to say.

Love always 

Thinking Out Loud xx :D

Be fierce, be proud, hold your head high, and always let your voice be heard.
