Mindfulness mini-challenges

Breathe deep into your belly through your nose and out through your mouth for 3 minutes. - Collect something from nature today and imagine how it came to be. Use it to remind you of the outside for the rest of the week. - Do something for a stranger today. Help, thank or compliment them and don’t look for anything in return. - Give something away today that you’ve not been using to anyone you want. - Take your lunch or dinner in an unusual place, observe the people and place in detail. - If you get frustrated today, try to pause and count to ten.
