Mindful Monday - January 25th
Good morning and happy Mindful Monday!
January has nearly passed us by, the days are starting to get a little bit longer – there's light at the end of the proverbial tunnel... (currently watching The Tunnel, excellent by the way).
Those of you who have been practising a Dry January will be counting down the days till your first drink of 2021 (seven more sleeps!) and if you're one of them I commend you, well done! I always thought January was a particularly strange month to volunteer alcohol abstinence but, that being said, I'm struggling to think of any month I'd like to go without…
And so as we settle into this new (hopeful) year I hope you find some use, inspiration and joy in the following titbits that I came by this past week.
Starting a new fitness regime in January is one thing, keeping it going into February is quite another. The initial excitement and enthusiasm often wanes and life's other responsibilities can squeeze out even our best of intentions. But fear not, this 11 minute exercise routine has been proven to improve fitness, requires no equipment, and the benefits realised from only three sessions a week.
Health and immunity are still very much on everyone's minds. Dr Zach Bush has put together this mindfully curated guide to the different components of the system that helps protect us and allows us to thrive.
President Biden will have to find another way to exercise after it was revealed his Peloton Bike posed too much of a security risk to be brought into The White House! Perhaps the 11-minute workout will be more suitable...
Outdated, sexist and damaging phrases continue to mindlessly infuse our modern dialogue, but we can all make a stand. This stunning short film demonstrates how thoughtless phrases can be changed to empower girls and women. (Thank you Luke Mulvihill DC for the recommendation.) #likeagirl

True that, FS. Have a great week!
Big love,
