Mindful Series Women’s Day mindfully

ing towards a bigger collective. Be firm in your resolve

Affirmation: I make self-care a priority. I embrace actions that help me grow. It is time to be clear and bold about your priorities. Your wellbeing and mental health are a priority. Making time to checkin with yourself, be it at work, or at home should be your prerogative. An effective yoga pose to strengthen your resolve and stay committed to your cause is Tadasana or Mountain pose. Standing firm, erect and immovable with a calm steady breath helps feel grounded and liberated at the same time.

Mindful connections

Affirmation: I have strong and committed friendships. I nurture my friends as they nurture me.

Women are social and emotional beings. Friendships play a big role in our lives and catching up with our girl friends can go a long way in helping us relax and de-stress. It could be a simple coffee catchup or a walk, maybe the movies or just a quick dinner on a weeknight – just enough time to embrace the feeling of simply ‘being’ with people who encourage, empower and support you in your ideas and actions. Add to that a touch of mindfulness and feel the magic of connecting with your friends by listening and talking without judgement. Be all there and help your friend to also enter that state of being. There is no better feeling than helping a friend connect with herself.

Crack the code

Affirmation: I rise and I help others rise As you embark on a journey of mindful living, you will find yourself treading with confident steps in the direction of your goals. You will also find yourself empowering others along the way.

There YouGo! You have made the choice to stand for gender equality, empower other women along the way and ‘crack the code’ from a place of balance, mindfully, confidently and boldly.

May your journey be steady and rewarding.
