Hi, My apologies for the delayed send. I was experiencing technical difficulties. Everything is good now. The Mini is a weekly email that contains community updates and one well-being-related resource. It’s short, sweet, and, hopefully, interesting. Thank you for being here!
Community Updates
The Monthly Well-being Calendar Have you checked out the November calendar? The monthly well-being calendar is posted on the first of every month in the subscriber-only chat*. Check it out throughout the month as I add suggestions in the replies. I encourage you to add suggestions, too!
Community Joy Nook Every Sunday, join the community joy nook in the subscriber-only chat* and share a moment of joy from your week. You can post a reply at any time during the week.
The Kitchen Nook Explore the kitchen nook for kitchen-related information (e.g., recipes, cooking tips, sustainable food practices). I added an amazing tofu recipe in the dinner recipe section today.
The Home Nook The Home Nook will be released this week!
*The subscriber-only chat is free to join and is accessible on the web and in the Substack app.
This Week’s Resource: A Breathwork Practice
Take a break to refresh your energy with this breathwork practice:
Find a comfortable seated position where you have enough room to raise your arms straight out from your sides.
Inhale for a count of four as you raise your straight arms overhead. Your hands can touch overhead or remain in a "V" shape.
Exhale for a count of four as you lower your arms back down to rest by your sides.
Continue this for a few minutes.
Optional:
Breathe through your nose.
Close your eyes.
Hold your breath at the top for a count of two, and pause at the bottom for a count of two.
Extend your inhale and exhale to a count longer than four.
Turn on some calming music and let a song act as your timer.
Try this practice throughout the day.
Thank you so much for being a part of the community. Have a great week!
Take care,
Whitney
