OUCH! My Neck hurts!
For many of us, the switch from working in an office to an at home environment has increased the amount of time spent working on the couch, kitchen table, or in front of smaller screens. Accompanying these changes in scenery and habits are new aches and pains associated with how you work. Here are a few ideas you may find helpful to mitigate the OUCH and help you on your journey to true self and body awareness.
Mindfulness affirmations
Negative thoughts create poor experiences for us; for instance, if you get angry, you affirm that you want more anger in your life. To create more positive thought patterns, we can use affirmations to change how we think. May we suggest during this upcoming holiday season, let’s all practice being conscious of and intentional with our thoughts. Let’s practice affirming what we want to achieve to bring more positivity into our lives.
