Happy Mindful Monday, my friends! Today we’re living through two more doctor appointments for Hubs. Living is the key word, here. I’m so grateful Hubs is still alive, pushing through all this illness stuff. I’m grateful for the doctors who’ve helped him and are still trying to help him.
Today we need mindfulness more than most days.
A sweet bit of synchronicity is that, this year, Davis Behavioral Health is working closely with our children’s school to teach
the Learning to Breathe program which helps kids learn to focus, regulate
emotions and/or feelings in their bodies, ways to be calm, etc.
So, while our family struggles with things that are
hard to deal with, our kids are learning tools at school that can help them
deal. And we, as parents, can learn along with them.
And I, as a person trying to learn and share
brain-healthy tools, can include some of these resources in my Mindful Mondays.
Today, then, we start with Body—Listening to our
bodies. Learning to pay attention to, and be aware of what’s happening in
different areas of our bodies. If you click on the ‘B’ in this link, it will
open multiple options of audio recordings leading you through guided
mindfulness practices that help you check in with your body or help you with
mindful breathing.

As you recognize each part of your body, maybe being grateful for the things your feet, your elbows, your neck allow you to do, I hope this brings you peace. Even if just for the moment.
I’m grateful for Hubs’ feet and elbows and neck. I’m
grateful he’s alive, and that I’m alive, and our goobers are alive, and you—my friends
and readers—are alive. I wish you peace and love as you move more mindfully
into this week.
