Feeling unhappy…unmotivated…or just plain blah?
Here’s a quick way to boost your mood and feel that rush of happiness again…
🥳 Celebrate small successes 🥳
We are so accustomed to celebrating when we reach a big milestone—whether it’s a raise, a promotion, or reaching a specific goal in your business sales.
But the reality is that those big milestones only happen because of all the teeny tiny goals we reach along the way…goals we are reaching Every. Single. Day.
🤔 How about we learn to celebrate those?
Here are some ideas for how to celebrate small successes…
✅ Check off a list (you’ll get a dopamine rush just from this!)
📈 Break down big goals into small goals (and track your progress!)
💞 Promise yourself a reward (pedicure when you reach that goal?)
📱 Share your wins (create a text group to boost each other up!)
The possibilities are endless.
Will you try it?
Lots of us feel crunched for time.
But what if you could take just 5 MINUTES to relax your body, clear your mind, and rejuvenate your soul?
That’s what you can do with a 5-minute meditation.
Here’s how:
1️⃣ Schedule a Time
Pick a time of day to do your 5-minute meditation and set a reminder on your phone to make sure you don’t miss it.
2️⃣ Choose a Space
You’ll want a quiet space where you feel comfortable and undisturbed. If you like, you can play meditation music or light a candle.
3️⃣ Take Some Deep Breaths
Close your eyes and take a few deep belly breaths. Imagine releasing stress and tension from your body with each exhale.
4️⃣ Focus on the Moment
Focus your attention on the sensations in and around your body—the feelings, smells, and sounds of the present moment. If your mind wanders, that’s completely normal! Just notice and bring your awareness back to the present.
When 5 minutes is up? Take one more releasing breath and get back to work—feeling more focused and less stressed.
