Welcome, friends.
Tap into the simplicity and strength of the number 5 to energize your body and align your mind:• Start with 1 round of sun salutations—flow through 1 cycle to awaken and warm the body.
- (Ensure you’re in good health before starting, and modify for knee or shoulder concerns as needed.)
- Lower and circulate the energy through one round of conscious breathing to reset the mind.
- Inhale for 4 counts
- Hold for 4
- Exhale for 6
- Hold out for 4
◦ Repeat this breathing cycle once.“Lastly, take a long, deep inhale, reaching your arms up to the sky… and gently lower your arms down by your sides as you slowly exhale. Let your breath guide you back to center.”
• Next, 1-Minute Meditation—Sit in stillness, grounding your awareness in the present moment.
• Follow with 3 to 5 Things You’re Grateful For— Reflect on five meaningful aspects of your life that fill you with appreciation.
• Lastly, 3 to 5 Core Positive Affirmations—Speak or write five affirmations that resonate deeply and uplift your spirit.
Let this simple 5-minute practice become your anchor. In just a few mindful minutes, you can shift your energy, clear your mind, and step into your day with clarity, gratitude, and purpose.
