February got you stressed? Try this 29 Day Mindfulness Challenge!
I challenge you to dedicate 10 minutes a day to a mindful practice! What is mindfulness, you say? Well, mindfulness is the practice of moment to moment awareness. So, ten minutes of mindfulness practice can look like many things...
- Ten minutes of seated meditation- listen to your thoughts without judgement. Choose a focus point like counting, a light in the body, or the rise and fall of breath.
- Ten minutes of listening to the breath. Put all of your focus into the rise and fall of breath.
- Ten minutes of mindful yoga, running, tai chi, showering... any physical action where you keep your awareness open to every present moment.
- Ten minutes of mantra meditation. Choose a mantra and focus on the message.
- Ten minutes of guided listening meditation. There are many tapes that can guide you through the practice. Jon Kabat Zinn has some excellent recordings!
If you are participating, SHOOT ME AN EMAIL at meranda.long@arts.cornish.edu and we will add you to the chart. Check in with student life once a week to fill up your star chart, and at the end of the challenge, we will celebrate with a MINDFUL CUPCAKE PARTY!
Feel free to email me as well if you want to talk about mindful practice or if you need help choosing a daily practice!

Johnny is running from violence. Maggie is running towards happiness. They collide on a Greyhound bus, but are soon kicked off to find themselves alone together in the middle of nowhere.
