“Make a Change – Make a Difference”
For the next few months
we are going to focus on making some small changes in our lives that can lead
to significant differences. Individual
results will vary depending upon what we put into each challenge. Also telling will be how we are willing to grow
during this process. Think baby steps
and do not have grandiose expectations. In
fact, do not have any expectation. Stay
in the present moment and keep you mind open to whatever these practices may
bring to you. Then record your
experiences in the Health Storylines app and share on social media!
CHALLENGE #1: Morning Intention
For five days
straight: Drink 1 glass of cool water first
thing in morning with intention.
Before consuming any
coffee or other caffeine or sugar, grab a cool or room temperature glass of
filtered water (not ice water). Drink it
slowly and with intention. Use this time
to focus your mind and energy in a positive way. Be quiet with yourself during this time, no
television/devices or other distractions.
While sipping this refreshing water, use these
tips to direct your thoughts then record your answers in the journal of the
Health Storylines app:
1.
Assess your body and mind. How do
you feel? How is the MS affecting
you? On
scale of 1-10, with 10 being awesome, record this feeling in the Journal
section.
2. What
kind of day do you want to have?
Productive/relaxed/social/healing?
Visualize the day you want to have.
If it helps you, think of a movie or television character to help put
you in the role.
3.
Bring to mind positive thoughts. Say one thing nice to yourself. such as, "I am worthy of a happy and healthy lifestyle." Using the Health Storylines App, under the My Journal tool, write
this blessing down. Then, repeat it to
yourself through out the day.
This practice begins a new level of awareness
between body, mind and soul. While it
may seem very medial, give it a chance.
Give yourself a chance!
RECORD:
At the beginning and end of the day, how are you
feeling? Record this feeling in the My Journal tool in the app:
Once you click on the My Journal tool you have several options. For this challenge choose "Reflection on my condition today" and record your experience.
