we're diving deep into something that's been a total game
changer for me. Mindfulness exercises. Ever, feel like your mind

(00:24):
is racing a thousand miles an hour, like you're constantly
bombarded with thoughts, to doss and anxieties. Girl, I know
that feeling. It's basically my daily theme song. But trust me,

stress hits, our bodies go into fight or flight mode,
which means shall out rapid breaths the calm the storm.
Take a few minutes to focus on your inhale and exhale.
Breathe in through your nose, feeling your belly expand like
a balloon. Then slowly exhale through your mouth, letting go
of tension with every breath. Repeat this for a few

with your senses. Ever feel disconnected from reality, like you're
stuck in your head, reapling past dramas or worrying about
the future, This one's for you. Take a moment to
tune into your senses. What do you see your mind?
You feel the texture of your clothing on your skin.

(01:54):
Listen to the sounds happening in your environment, birds, chirping,
cause driving, by even the hum of your refriregin. By
grounding yourself in the present moment, you break free from
those mental hamster wheels and find a sense of Calmner
three The gratitude game. This one's about shifting your perspective
and focusing on the good stuff. Take a few minutes

(02:16):
each day to think about three things you're truly grateful for.
It could be anything a warm cup of coffee, a
supportive friend, or even just the feeling of sunshine on
your face. By practicing gratitude, you train your brain to
notice the positive aspects of life, boosting your mood and
creating a more joyful experience overall. Let's top body scan meditation.

(02:38):
Ever feel tension building up in your shoulders, neck, or back,
This exercise helps release those physical knots, promoting relaxation and
well being. Simply lie down or sit comfortably and bring
your attention to your body, starting with your toes. Slowly
scan your entire body, noticing any sensations tingling, warmth, pressure,
or even tightness with each breath, I imagine releasing tension

(03:02):
from that area. This practice not only reduces physical discomfort,
but also helps you become more aware of your body's signals,
teaching you to listen to its needs and finally, the
power saying no, yes I said it. Learnin' to set
boundaries is a form of self care and its essential
for maintaining you a mental peace. Don't be afraid to

Remember it's okay to prioritize your own well being. Say
y no asn't selfish, It's an act of self love
and respect. Now let me paint a picture for you.
Imagine this. You're having a stressful day at work. Emails
are piling up, deadlines are looming, and every one seems

(03:46):
to be on edge. But instead of letting the chaos
consume you, you take a few deep breaths, focusing on your
inhale and exhale. You grand yourself by noticing the warmth
of the sun on yuskin as ye step out sign
for a quick break. And then when someone asks you
to take on another project, you politely decline, knowing that
saying no is an act of self care, not selfishness.

(04:08):
See what I mean. These little exercises can make a
huge difference in how you navigate the daily grind. Remember,
