Float Madison

This might sound a little silly, but give yourself permission to daydream.
The float tank is a great place for this since you are free of distractions.

Give yourself permission to imagine the possibility of everything going RIGHT in your life.
Let yourself think, "What if everything worked out?"

Think about what it will feel like when you achieve your biggest goal. Don't think about how you'll get there, or the logistics, just let yourself daydream about all the possibilities. Why not?!

Imagining the best case scenario isn't something we usually do as over-thinking humans, but give yourself permission to daydream. Start with a few minutes a day, and see how your mood can improve!

It really does all come back to the breath. When we choose to breathe consciously, even for a moment, it can act as a reset during your day, calming your nervous system and allowing you to see the world from a new perspective. Even just deciding that your next three breaths are going to be deep and restorative can make a huge difference during a stressful moment.

A great mindful breath to try is called the two part sigh:
🌼 Breathe deeply into your stomach.
🌼 Breath into your chest.
🌼 Sigh it out with an audible sigh.

Repeating this sighing deep breath exercise just three times can shift your mood, give you a rush of good endorphins, and keep the stress away! Try it now!

When we're doing household tasks, or stuck in traffic, or busy at work, our brains have a tendency to point out things we don't like. Instead, try to focus on what you DO like. Focus on what IS good.

For example, let's say you're washing the dishes. Focus on the smallest things that bring you joy. Maybe you got the water to the perfect temperature so it's warm but not burning your hands. Maybe you're listening to a really good podcast. Maybe your cat is rubbing against your leg.

Now, imagine you're stuck in traffic. Instead of getting frustrated about the traffic (which you can't control), focus on the beautiful things outside your car window. Can you find something beautiful? Can you see the clouds? The birds? What can you appreciate?

Switching our mindset to seeking out things we appreciate puts us in a better headspace, which can boost your mood and make it more likely you'll keep seeing things you like.
