Mindset Reset

Harness the power of the science of calm right when the day starts. Observe your surroundings. Is there a touch of sun warming your skin? Breathe in slowly, feel the cool air entering your nostrils, then gently exhale. This is how calm feels.

Your Move: Start your day with five slow, deep breaths.

Science of Calm

When we cultivate calm, our heart rate slows, our breathing deepens and our bodies start to release endorphins, leading to a state of relaxation that has numerous health benefits.

Your Move: Try to schedule at least 15 minutes of calm into your day.

Body + Fuel

Hydration is an unsung hero of health. Drinking enough water helps keep your body and mind functioning optimally. In the hustle of daily life, staying hydrated might feel like a task but it’s crucial to the science of calm.

Your Move: Keep a water bottle with you to remind yourself to hydrate.

Connection Pulse

Connections bring an inherent calm to our lives. The feeling of belonging can ease anxieties and offer a safe space. Make sure to reach out to a loved one today.

Your Move: Send a message of gratitude to someone you care about.

Mindful Tech

Our digital devices can be tools for relaxation if used mindfully. Try using an app for guided meditation or calming music. Remember, it’s all about balance in the relationship with our screens.

Your Move: Designate a device-free hour each day.

Reality Humor Check

Ever had one of those days where even your coffee needs a coffee? It’s okay. Laughing at our human moments helps keep things in perspective.

Your Move: Find a funny video to laugh at today.

Evening Reset

End your day comfortably. Set your devices aside and let your thoughts wind down naturally, tuning into the calming energy of the night.

Your Move: Get to bed 15 minutes earlier than usual to help your body rest better.

The Tail End

Let’s dive into the tranquillity of the night, wrapped in the comfort of knowing we did well for our well-being today. Here’s to another beautiful tomorrow with the science of calm by our side.

Your Move: Reflect on one calm moment from your day.
