FRIDAY 5: Daily Mindfulness

Send us Fan MailIt is vital to understand self-awareness as it can range from focusing on the present moment to your current physical, mental and emotional state. Awareness of your emotions and physical state allows you to choose how to respond. For instance, instead of letting physical discomfort push you into a grumpy state, you can acknowledge the discomfort and consciously choose to overcome it. Self-awareness can help you make better decisions, as it is easy to fall into a routine or pattern of behaviour when you feel tired or overwhelmed, such as staying up late and snacking at a certain point in the day.Mindfulness is a way to raise your self-awareness through tools and practice that anchor you in the present moment. The more you practice, the better you will maintain that state.Mindfulness practices have improved immune function and reduced inflammation, which may benefit those with autoimmune diseases. In this Friday 5 episode, I will share my top 5 mindfulness practices that cultivate more self-awareness in your everyday life. Highlight's from today's episode include:How daily journalling helps to raise self-awareness and happiness. Breathing techniques to bring you back to the present moment. The power of yoga and the benefits of developing a daily practice. The magic of music and the way to listen, play and sing to music mindfully.Ways to meditate that work for you.Learn more about, The Hair Growth Reviver programme, which includes information about some of these natural therapies. And you can read more about 'Nutrition Hacks for Healthy Hair Growth' in this article.Fancy working with me 1-2-1?
