Mindful Monday - June 7th

Good morning and happy Mindful Monday to you!

June. Yep, really.
June. Just sayin’.
Cool.

What’s happening? How was your weekend?
What are your top five favourite things that happened between Friday afternoon and Sunday evening?
Make a note in your calendar to do more of these things.

There you go, your weekends just got better. Not a bad start to the week!

Vision for vision
I love a company that has positive impact at the heart of their mission – meet Pala. Pala is an eyewear company selling cool specs while helping restore vision to the poor of sight in Africa. Excellenté.

How to age well
Our friends over at Form Nutrition have put together this wonderful guide to living longer with grace and ease. Tips include eating less, starting a new hobby, eating more plants, and enjoying a daily walk.

Noise for Focus
Getting into the right vibe to be productive can be tricky, but having a soothing soundtrack can be just the ticket you need for deep focus.

Noizer is a clever site that plays background sounds to help get you in the right mood. Love cats? Click purr. Love sitting in the garden but it’s raining? Yep, click garden. You can even click airplane if you’re itching for some mile-high focus.

Writing for mental health
It’s been a long, tough slog for many of us and anxiety has certainly become a major challenge. Journaling is a tried and tested way to effectively help process stress and recognise thought patterns that may not always serve us well. The Anti-Anxiety Notebook is designed by therapists to help us all develop better strategies to deal with life’s inevitable challenges.

Spray against Covid
A new nasal spray (currently being tested in labs) is looking promising as a possible treatment and offering protection against Covid variants. Things are looking up. Thank you, science.

Shower Thought
“The biggest problem with flying cars would not be traffic but the constant garbage thrown by careless drivers flying above you.”

Woah. So true.

Love you guys,
