MINDFULNESS MONDAY
Today we are going to look at wholeheartedly acknowledging our successes as a way to enhance our sense of well-being. We often stop to honor the successes of others, yet pausing to even witness let alone acknowledge our own success is something that many people don’t do.
Acknowledging success is a change to truly embrace who we are and what we have accomplished and an invitation to revel in the experience of it. We can practice acknowledging and feeling into the success we have experienced in the past, those we are currently experiencing as well as those we anticipate will happen in the future.
A suggestion for the week: Today I will walk you through how to honor your past. Whether large or small, our past successes are worth cherishing.
· Call to mind a time that made you feel proud. This could possibly be a step you took in the direction of your dreams, a milestone you met or any small action that was in alignment with your values.
· Next spend 3 minutes envisioning what happened and how the experience unfolded. What was the impact of that moment on yourself and on others? What are you appreciative for about that experience or about yourself?
While this is a short and simple activity it is a great pick-me-up to perform whenever we are discouraged or are feeling a little down.
Have a great week!
