I am Sarah Jane Case and this is Anya Graham and Coffee.

Hello, everyone. Happy Tuesday. Today I am sharing with you my top 10 mindfulness practices.

But first today's Rose Bud and Thorn.

My rose today is I really like bribing myself to do things that I'm putting off.

And my current favorite method is if I just like do not want to buckle down and do hard things,

is to bribe myself with a coffee out because we rarely get coffee out.

And I have bribed myself twice this week. So that is my confession.

My thorn for today is honestly realizing that I don't really want to go back to pre-quarantine life.

I kind of like it. I think that I've never really been someone who enjoyed being home.

And I'm a little bit nervous about having the option.

I'm afraid that it'll like revert me back to old patterns of doing things to distract

myself from how I feel like going out to eat or going out for coffee like twice a day every day

or going out to drink at night just because we're bored.

These are things that we don't do anymore. And I really like our lifestyle right now.

And I'm pretty nervous about kind of jumping right back into things.

And I also like having a reason to say no to invitations.

I'm honest. So I'm getting nervous.

I'm getting really nervous about kind of going back to whatever normal is.

I'm going to take my time, I think.

All right, my bud is eventually though, whenever it feels safe to do so,

I do look forward to taking day trips again. We live in an area where there's a decent amount

of places you can get in a day and just have a really good day trip and then head home.
