In the wake of the global pandemic, people everywhere are working through tough experiences and the emotions which arose from those experiences.
The loss of ‘control’ to certain aspects of life has increased stress and anxiety for many. The emotions of stress and anxiety are close to, if not the top, currently felt and not everyone has the time, energy, or space to dedicate to an in-depth self-care routine. An important key to destressing is mindfulness exercises. A mindfulness routine does not take much, but it does take a bit of dedication to the process. Give yourself one to 30 minutes a day, or at the least one full minute when stress and anxiety hit you. Take just 60 seconds to work through a mindfulness exercise which will help bring you back to a place of calm and increased clarity.
