Every day you brush your teeth, every day you wash your face. This is something you have been taught to do since a very young age and it has become a daily habit. But how much time do you spend taking care of your mind and heart? Taking some time to create a state of inner peace, to connect with your ‘source’ and to clear out blockages and stuck emotions is essential to living a harmonious and joyful life.
Wouldn’t it be great if taking some time every day to take care of mind and heart would become a normality in our society? That we will teach our children from a young age how to deal with the fluctuations of emotions, how to generate inner peace, kindness, and acceptance?
My mission is to make daily care for mind & body the ‘new normal’.
And it is through example that our children will behave and learn to create their ‘normal’. Therefore let’s set a good example by starting with our own life now by implementing these healthy routines.
I hope you can join my mission by implementing some good routines in your own life!
“Like a garden that you nurture every day to bring forth good produce,
so too must you take care of mind and heart to make your life flourish and shine.”
A 10-minute routine for mind and heart
- 2 minutes of arriving: sit comfortably, close your eyes and simply notice your breath.
- 4 minutes of deep breathing: breathe in slowly through the nose into the belly, ribs and chest, and breathe out slowly and completely.
- 2 minutes of letting go: with each exhale, release tension from the face, shoulders and belly.
- 2 minutes of kindness: silently wish yourself and the people around you peace and happiness.
That is all. Ten minutes a day, at the same time each day, so it becomes as natural as brushing your teeth.
Teaching by example
Children learn from what we do, not from what we say. When they see us taking a moment to breathe and calm down, they learn that it is normal to take care of their mind and emotions. That is how we slowly make daily care for mind and body the new normal.
