#95 Practice kindness

Happy Thoughtful Thursday, Today’s breath is Triangle Breath which Calms, reduces anxiety and quiets the mind. To do this breath visualize a triangle in the air in front of you. You will move your head in the shape of a triangle like your nose is drawing a triangle in the air.  Inhale base while you move your head left to right, hold your breath as you move your head up one side, exhale your breath down the other side of the triangle. 

Let’s do this together: Inhale the base, hold while you go up the right side, exhale as you go down the left side

Two more times: Inhale the base, hold while you go up the right side, exhale as you go down the left side

Last one: Inhale the base, hold while you go up the right side, exhale as you go down the left side

Continue doing the triangle breath while I share our nudge for the day. 

Today’s nudge is: Practice kindness

Always. Kindness always prevails even when you don’t get it back. You have to live with you. You know you did the right thing and acted in kindness. The people to whom you are kind know it, too, just sometimes don’t acknowledge it. That’s ok. When you do a good act your body releases "feel good" hormones like serotonin and oxytocin, which help regulate your mood. Essentially, being involved in a good deed is good for you emotionally, mentally and physically! We act with kindness because it is the right thing to do. It makes you feel good when you do something kind. Kindness gives you purpose and pride. 

Let’s repeat this three times:

Have a great Thoughtful Thursday!
