Mindfulness seems to be trending these days and perhaps it's very poignant given so much distraction temptation in our lives (Facebook, YouTube, texting, email, gaming). Today's episode describes how Mindful Rights and Lefts can help you get and stay mindful. Questions: 1. Which hand did you use to press play on this episode? 2. Which hand did you use to get toothpaste onto your toothbrush this morning? 3. Which hand did you open the fridge door with? 4. Which arm goes through a sleeve first when you put a shirt on? 5. Which foot goes in first when you take a bath or shower? 6. Which foot goes first when you walk through a door? 7. Which foot do you use when opening a step trash can? Today’s actionable tip has three levels. It’s totally up to you which level you want to take action on. Level 1 Action: Notice This is noticing with hand or foot, arm or leg you use to complete a task. Pick a day and as you go through the day, notice which side of your body you're using to complete tasks you do every day. Level

Here's a simple strategy for daily meditation! Hey it's Josie with Affirmation Pod. Here's my first actionable tip! It's called the "Date to Meditate" Meditation. It's a super easy way to get meditation in your routine. Here goes... Before you go to sleep, think of today's date. Then take that many deep, relaxing breaths. For sample, if it's the 8th of the month, take a deeeep breath, and in your mind say "8." Then take another deeeep breath, and in your mind say "7" Repeat until you get to zero. That's it!! It's your "Date to Meditate" And so tomorrow night, you will take a deeeep breath, and in your mind say "9" (or whatever the date is). And repeat until you get to zero. Sometimes you might fall asleep before you get to zero, but hey, that's okay too - we all need solid rest!
