We love a Monday on the first day of the month! Ha We love a Monday on the first day of the month! Having a clean slate is always a welcome way to develop a new healthy habit, or break an old hurtful habit.

For today's ๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐๐š๐ฒ practice, we challenge you to maintain mindfulness in the information age by taking daily moments to step away from all electronics to focus on what matters.
โœจTake a Mindful Moment: anytime you are reaching for your phone, computer, or tablet, pause for a few seconds. Take four deep breaths.
โœจ Waiting Wisely: whenever you are waiting for something to load online, or you're on hold, relax during these moments instead of opening your browser and multi-tasking.
โœจ Make Mindful Transitions: each time you turn off your electronic devices, take notice of any tensions in your body, notice the sounds that surround you, feel the temperature in the room. Make the transition from a state of hyperfocus to a calm state of mindfulness.
โœจ Turn Off to Turn On: schedule deliberate times when you wonโ€™t use any technology at all whether it be few hours per day, a specific day each week, or a full week-long break. Discover what works best for you. Schedule your break time(s). Enjoy the peaceful moment.

In recognition of #NEDAwareness week, we invite โ€œ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ.โ€Join us in helping to raise awareness of eating disorders by inviting others to join you at your table where you can practice mindful eating in a safe and supportive setting.

Always strive to eat mindfully each time you sit down to dine. Try this mindful eating practice together to find a sense of community:
๐Ÿฅ„ Notice your food, seeing the shapes, colors, and textures.
๐Ÿฅ„ Smell the aromas.
๐Ÿฅ„ Take it all in before experiencing your first small bite.
๐Ÿฅ„ Eat these bites slowly, experiencing the tastes, smells, temperatures, and textures of each bite.
๐Ÿฅ„ Chew slowly, noting the release of flavors and the sensations associated with eating.
๐Ÿฅ„ Continue thoughtfully, deliberately, until you notice feeling satisfied, and then stop and reflect.
๐Ÿฅ„ As they say, if you love food, spend some time with it.๐Ÿ’œ

๐—ก๐—˜๐—ช ๐—•๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—š: Setting boundaries ๐—ก๐—˜๐—ช ๐—•๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—š: Setting boundaries does not mean you are disconnecting from relationships. In fact, a boundary can improve communication and the depth of a relationship. There should be room in a relationship for you to put yourself and your emotional wellbeing first.

Naming boundaries has many benefits, including:
๐Ÿ’œ Defining the terms of a relationship;
๐Ÿ’œ Developing a sense of ones own identity;
๐Ÿ’œ Creating mutual respect in relationships.

To strengthen relationships on your terms, read our recent blog by #collegeblog contributor @haidynemmerich --- ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—•๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€. The blog link is in our bio.

โ€“ Buddha

Take a mindful moment, up to ten minutes, to write yourself a self-care love letter.
๐Ÿ’œ Collect a pen and paper.
๐Ÿ’œ Settle yourself into a cozy safe space.
๐Ÿ’œ Give thought to how much you appreciate yourself. 
๐Ÿ’œ Write a list of the positive things you want to say to yourself, just like you would to someone special in your family, to your boyfriend or girlfriend, or to your best friend.
๐Ÿ’œ Sign the letter with Love.
๐Ÿ’œ Choose a safe place to stash your handwritten note, like a place you will easily remember to go when you need a pick me up.
๐Ÿ’œ Select a date in the future, one or two months away, to take your self-care love letter out of safe-keeping. Read and reread the self-affirmations you wrote to uplift your mood and reduce your anxiety.
