‘Thriving Together’: Take a breather today
In today’s exercise as part of “Thriving Together: Spiritual Wellness Week,” we encourage you to slow down. Stop rushing and focus on the present moment to find a balance. Take a 15-minute mindful reading break today.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, select a magazine or book. Enlighten your mind with knowledge and appreciation of aesthetics to de-stress. Take a seat in a corner near a window, in the library or outside to read for pure enjoyment.
Lean into a state of relaxation by focusing on the way the paper feels in your hand, the light glancing off the page, the words and imagery in the book or magazine. Take your time turning the pages and really read each word rather than skimming. Let this break bring you a moment of peace and serenity in your day. Repeat as needed.
