Tip 1 // Prioritise sleep and create good sleeping habits

A simple meditation to use at night is to visualise waves breaking over the beach, inhaling as the waves go out and exhaling as the waves roll in.

Tip 2 // Engage in self-care

Take a bath, read a book, get a massage, or use self-care tools (such as a body scrub or hair mask!).

A breathing technique to try during self-care practices is inhaling for three counts, holding for two counts and exhaling for four counts.

Tip 3 // Nourish your physical body with healthy foods, water and movement (remembering to eat and drink mindfully!).

Tip 4 // Have fun! Go on adventures, spend time with loved ones and do your favourite hobbies. Try laughter meditation or affirmations for fun meditation practices.

I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!

0:51.9	is one of the most important aspects of my health because without that
0:55.9	I struggle with many other areas of my well-being. And this is something I've been hearing from a lot of
1:01.7	the people in my community lately that stress is impacting their lives and overwhelm and busyness
1:07.9	are getting in the way of their really good intentions to improve their health.
1:12.2	So you can imagine how excited I've been that meditation is such a huge trend in the well-being world
