to notice ...

Taking Time to Notice

This is important.

We often treat ourselves to relaxing thoughts or things but within a few seconds get busy, are  interrupted, or start doing other things at the same time - sound familiar. 

Later we forget about it or never take the time to notice the giving or feel  the receiving  - to remember how it felt. 

Huge health benefits come when we reduce Stress but often we don't notice or give the benefits a chance to sink in.

Please stay with me for a few Wellness Moments

Let's start by first noticing your breath and see if you can relax it to be a bit slower & fuller ...

Now with this more relaxed breathing, 

focus on to your body and start to relax both shoulders,

then invite relaxation into both your arms, hands & all your fingers ...

Enjoy a few more of those full smooth breaths...

Our Face and Jaw can hold a lot of stress so start to soften and relax your whole face and neck a bit - think about your mouth, cheeks, eyes & ears ... you can do it. 

Want some FUN - make a few funny faces then relax.

With the shoulders and arms already relaxed and now the face, send the invitation out to the rest of your body ... don't forget to include your toes.

Feel your breath breathing you and relaxing your body even more ... 

Please repeat the message below to yourself  2 or 3 times - each time a bit slower. 

Enjoy the gift of this time to slow down,

to quiet your body and mind,

to notice ...

If OK to do so - 

Begin to inhale for a count of 4, then change to exhale for a count of 4

Again - inhale for a count of 4 and then change to exhale for a count of 4

Last time - inhale for a count of 4 and then change to exhale for a count of 4

Gently return to your own smooth calm natural breath, 
 & just let your whole self RELAX a few more minutes ...

Give yourself time to notice.

You did Great!

I was at a Wellness Fair a few weeks ago and a visitor who stopped by my table brought this same thing up - that most often we don't take time to notice - our days go by so fast that we miss those precious moments of peace and breath.

I mentioned to her that I had a post coming soon about this same thing ... it was wonderful to connect and have a great conversation.
