Day 30: The Gift of Generosity

Generosity is about turning away from self-focused actions and offering our time and attention to the needs of others.
It doesn’t have to be monetary or material, generosity can be as simple as giving someone your full, undivided attention in a conversation, offering a smile to a stranger, or helping someone with a task they’re struggling with.
Generosity is the last of the nine main attitudes of mindfulness, so what better way to close your month of mindfulness challenge than learning how we can implement more generosity into our lives. It reminds us how small, intentional acts of giving can make both our inner and outer worlds, better places to live in.

Day 29: Cultivating Contentment

Contentment means feeling at peace with who you are, where you are, and what you have.In a world that constantly throws us curveballs and sends messages suggesting we need more to be happy, it’s easy to lose sight of this. But mindfulness can help us reconnect with a sense of inner well-being and self-satisfaction, without needing validation from the outside world.
In today’s practice, try this simple mindfulness exercise to help shift your focus toward what you do have, rather than what you don’t.

Day 28: A Practice for Letting Go

The practice of mindfulness includes nine key pillars or attitudes, these are: non judging, gratitude, patience, a beginner's mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance, letting go, and generosity. The attitudes support each other and are deeply interconnected. Throughout the month of mindfulness challenge we have been making our way through these pillars and today we are practicing letting go.
Letting go means releasing the emotional baggage that weighs us down; whether it’s past regrets, unresolved issues, or fears about the future. These burdens can prevent us from living fully and freely.
So there’s no time like the present to practice letting go of any stress, fears and negative emotions. Host Gabby will guide you through a meditation that uses visualization, breathwork, and relaxation techniques to help you let go and release what no longer serves you.

Day 25: Practicing Acceptance

Acceptance means noticing your experience and simply acknowledging it, rather than judging it as good or bad.Many of us grow up with the belief that we need to constantly achieve, improve, or become something more. We're taught, often subtly, that we must “make something” of ourselves.
These unspoken expectations can lead us into a cycle of striving and struggle, always chasing the next achievement, purchase, or version of ourselves that we think will finally bring happiness.
In this mindfulness meditation, you’re invited to pause — to recognise where you are, as you are — and practice accepting your current state without needing to change it.

Day 24: Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a stress-management mindfulness technique. The idea behind PMR is that there is a relationship between a person's mind and body.It works by helping to relieve physical tension, such as tight, aching muscles, through a simple process of tensing and relaxing specific muscle groups.
PMR is a two-step practice: first, you actively tense targeted muscles; then, you release that tension and pay attention to how your body feels in its relaxed state. This technique can help reduce overall stress and physical discomfort, and support a greater sense of calm when you're feeling anxious.

Day 23: Savor the Moment

Mindful eating is a powerful technique that helps you slow down, increase your awareness of food, and build healthier eating habits, all while strengthening your relationship with what you eat.In the second of two mindful eating sessions in the Month of Mindfulness Challenge, Gabby shares ways to shift from mindless, to mindful eating, followed by a guided exercise to help you put it into practice.
You’ll need a small piece of food such as a raisin, grape, cooked pasta, orange slice, piece of cheese, or square of chocolate.
The more mindful you become throughout your day, the more naturally mindfulness will extend to how you eat helping you make more intentional and informed choices.

Day 22: Mindful Eating

Mindful eating is about tuning into how you feel while you eat, paying attention to the experience with awareness and intention.Being more mindful with food can support better digestion, help you feel satisfied with less, and lead to healthier, more conscious choices. It can also free you from unhelpful eating habits and patterns.
In today’s challenge, Gabby shares simple, practical ways to bring more mindfulness to your meals, with an invitation to try a few and see what works best for you.
