Greetings all!
Don’t you love it when the 1st of the month falls on a Monday? So if you have been waiting to start a new habit, here is your chance! And if your new habit is exploring how to take better care of yourself, use the ideas from the CALM May-2023 calendar (https://blog.calm.com/blog/may-2023-calm-calendar).
My favorite ideas were from May 5, 10, 12, 16, and 27. I especially think saying NO is one of the most powerful self-care tools we have in our arsenal. What about you?
May 1 - Get curious: what do you want to explore this month?
May 2 - Try a Calm Breathwork exercise to create space in your mind and body.
May 3 - Make a list of places you’d like to explore. Plan time to visit one.
May 4 - Tune into your feelings. Is there anything that needs your attention?
May 5 - Give yourself time to daydream.
May 6 - Listen to a Calm Masterclass that interests you.
May 7 - Which activities light you up? Add one into your day.
May 8 - When a difficult emotion arises, “talk” to them like a friend.
May 9 - Take a risk today. Trust that you can handle the outcome.
