Mini-Meditation Minute

This a method of attaining quick relaxation.

  1. Rub the palm of your hands together very quickly to create heat from friction.
  2. Close your eyes and place the palms of your hands over your eyes.
  3. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth slowly and deeply three times. Imagine that as you breath in that a balloon in your abdomen is filling up. Count with each expiration…1…2…3.

Do You Have Resilience?

Psychological resilience is your ability to cope with adversity.

How to strengthen your resilience:

  • Have goals. Short term goals such as your daily to-do list. Long term goals such as learning a new skill.
  • Remain positive and use humour when possible.
  • Act on problems you can solve. Try to chip away at it with “baby steps”.
  • Stay in shape physically and psychologically by exercising, eating well.

Can you suggest some other tips?

Declutter Your Mind’s Desktop

Declutter Your Mind's Desktop

De-clutter the physical space around you and it will help you de-clutter you mind.

The first goal should be to clear all floors and flat surfaces such as countertops and desks.

Start with one area at a time such as the surface of your desk. Only have the essentials on the desk which may be your computer and your phone. Get rid of things you don’t use and put the rest away in a drawer or a closet (these areas will be your secondary goal for de-cluttering).

Everything else should be out of sight, out of mind. This will start the process which will clear the clutter in your own mind.
