December Soul Snack Suggestion
“Soul Snacks” are easy and quick actions we can take to calm our nervous system, gain a new perspective on our day, and reduce stress. They are simple, self-care practices we can do to feel well.
Gratitude Journaling
- Take 5-10 minutes for mindful breathing and gratitude journaling.
- Find a quiet spot, sit comfortably and focus on your breath – slowly inhaling and exhaling.
- After a few deep breaths, reflect on one thing you’re grateful for in that moment. It could be something small, like a warm drink, or a supportive conversation you had that day.
- Write down a sentence or two about it.
This brief practice can nourish your mind and spirit, grounding you in the present and filling you with positive energy.
