Hi friend,

Welcome to your 7-day mindfulness meditation challenge!

Thank you for trusting us on your mindfulness journey. Our goal for this challenge is to help you learn the basics of meditation and develop a love for it so that it becomes a part of your daily routine.

In this course, we will practice mindfulness meditation, which involves being present. This approach is backed by scientific research and has numerous benefits for our mental and physical well-being. Research has shown that people who don't meditate spend more than half of their time not being present in the moment, and being present is directly correlated to happiness.

This is your mindfulness meditation routine for the next 7 days:

Day 1 - Mindfulness Meditation For Beginners

➡️ On day 1, we'll cover the basics and practice the skill of being present in the moment. You might think you are already present, but the truth is that we're constantly in our emotions, memories, thoughts about how things could have been, plans about future, etc.

➡️ Living in the moment - a.k.a MINDFULNESS - is a state of active, open, intentional attention on the present. When you practice being mindful, you realize that you are not your thoughts. Instead, you become an observer of your thoughts from moment to moment, bringing your awareness to your internal processes without judging them or creating emotional reactions.

Day 2 - Morning Meditation for Positive Energy

➡️ On day 2, we'll focus on how to connect with the present moment to make the most of your morning and start the day on the right note.

Day 3 - Be in the Present Moment & Release Your Negative Thoughts Meditation

➡️ As we continue to focus on being present in the moment, today we will explore how mindfulness meditation can assist us in redirecting our attention away from our thoughts, particularly negative ones.

➡️ Mindfulness is a state of mind that involves being fully present and engaged in the current moment. It means focusing your attention on the here and now, without being distracted by thoughts about the past or worries about the future.

➡️ But mindfulness is more than just being in the present moment. It's about training yourself to become aware of what's happening in the present moment, without judgment or distraction. When we experience a thought or feeling, we often get caught up in it and become emotionally involved. Mindfulness meditation helps us to observe our internal processes from an external perspective, without becoming overly attached to them.

➡️ Through mindfulness practice, we can learn to observe our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without reacting to them. This can help us to develop a greater sense of clarity, calmness, and emotional resilience. By staying mindful and present, we can live our lives more fully and with greater awareness.

➡️ With the help of meditation, we can reshape our brain and establish new neural pathways. This is due to the brain's neuroplasticity, which enables it to adapt and change in response to new experiences. By consistently engaging in meditation, we can facilitate the creation of new neural connections, resulting in a range of cognitive and emotional benefits.

➡️ It is especially important to step outside of negative thoughts once you become aware that they are overwhelming you. Simply recognizing and acknowledging that we are feeling angry, unhappy, anxious, afraid, or any other negative emotion can help us avoid becoming consumed by them and develop a healthier mindset.

Day 4 - Connect To Your Breath Meditation

➡️ You are halfway through your mindfulness meditation challenge! Today is all about connecting to your breath and letting go. Notice all your frustrations and breathe them out.

➡️ Focusing on the breath can help bring our attention to the present moment and calm our minds. Paying attention to the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves our body can help anchor our attention and reduce distraction from other thoughts or feelings.

➡️ Many people see letting go as an action, something they must do. But the idea of trying to get rid of something often draws even more attention to it. In reality, letting go means staying present and accepting what's happening without resistance. It's about allowing things to be as they are. You can imagine it like water flowing through your fingers. Letting go means having your palms relaxed instead of clenching tightly, as if trying to hold onto the water flow.

Day 5 - Body Scan Meditation

➡️ Today, we will be practicing a body scan meditation to help you become more present through physical sensations.

➡️ Body scan meditation is a type of mindfulness practice that involves focusing your attention on different parts of your body, from your head down to your toes. It can help cultivate awareness of bodily sensations like tension, warmth, and tingling.

➡️ Trough this practice we can explore the dynamic nature of present moment. Notice different sensations in your body, sounds around you, thoughts, emotions, etc. and notice hoe everything comes and goes. With practice, we can become more aware of the transience of everything. Everyone gets distracted during meditation, but it's all about how quickly you can get back on track!

Day 6 - Fall Asleep Naturally + Delta Binaural Waves

➡️ On day 6, we will practice meditation to unwind after a long day.

➡️ Meditation is a powerful tool that can help you relax your mind and body before sleep. By focusing on your breath and letting go of any racing thoughts, you can reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm. Incorporating a regular meditation practice into your bedtime routine may help improve the quality of your sleep and leave you feeling more refreshed and rejuvenated in the morning.

Day 7 - Thankful Meditation for Gratitude

➡️ Today we will talk about how meditation helps us to feel happier and practice the life-changing skill of gratitude.

➡️ Many people believe that they will be happy if they possess certain things or avoid specific situations. However, this often leads to the frustration of feeling like something is missing. The truth is, clinging onto some things and avoiding others drains an enormous amount of energy. Even if you manage to achieve that desired state, it is often short-lived, because life happens and new obstacles arise.

➡️ Meditation helps us feel happier and more content with our lives. By being in the moment, being mindful of our thoughts and emotions, accepting things the way they are, and cultivating gratitude for the things we have in life, we can experience greater feelings of joy and satisfaction in our lives.

To help you track your progress, we created a habit tracker that you can print out and check off the days you meditated.
