3 Deep Breathing Techniques to Try Today
It all begins with the breath. We never have to worry about forgetting to breathe because our magnificent body takes care of it whether we’re conscious of it or not. But oftentimes, that is the issue— we aren’t conscious of our breath. We go through our daily lives breathing too quickly and not deeply enough without even thinking about it. By not breathing deeply, we’re losing out on a precious wellness boost. One that can help us reduce stress, lower blood pressure, squash anxiety, reduce depression, and a whole host of other benefits for our bodies and minds.
5 Journal Prompts to Identify Your Strengths
It may not be obvious to you, but you possess superpowers— otherwise known as personal strengths. Everyone has them but not everyone can identify them. In the daily hustle and bustle of life, it can be challenging to recognize how we shine if we become too focused on problems, failures, and shortcomings. In spite of that, you have all the internal resources you need to thrive and flourish. It all starts with a pen and paper. If you allow it, the pen can be the instrument of your heart, gently releasing the guidance and wisdom that resides within.
At Mongata, we use journaling in our groups, one-on-one sessions, and self-guided courses as a powerful tool to tap our inner resources, learn about ourselves, and ignite well-being and healing. Grab a pen and some paper, carve out some uninterrupted quiet time, and answer the following prompts.
10 Hobbies For Your Body and Mind
There’s a common notion that stems from “hustle culture” that you should always be hurried, productive, and hustling every waking minute, but working around the clock isn’t actually good for you. If you don’t take breaks and make time for enjoyable leisure activities and hobbies it starts to take a toll both physically and psychologically. It’s healthier to have a nice balance of work and play in your life.
