QUOTE
'Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day' - Dalai Lama
How do you start your day?
Honestly this quote is such a simple tool to try... especially on days when we
wake not feeling our best!
We challenge you to give it a go... Sit comfortably for a couple mins, one hand on your heart one on your stomach... focus on the breath, breathe in & out through the nose, notice where you are sending the breath, begin to think of something that brings you joy, begin to feel the thought... How does it make you feel? Do you notice any sensations? Where do you feel the sensations?... Take a few more breaths in & out of the nose.. or sit with the feelings as long as you wish... then slowly begin to blink the eyes open with a nice big smile on the face!
If there's a quote you'd like to share with us please let us know!
