Yawning - The New Mindfulness Hack!
I attended 2 great webinars this week. The first was about writing about trauma, and some of it was stuff I already do to help people write about trauma. But other parts provided new ideas, so I have even more ways to help you write even the toughest stuff!
The 2nd webinar was about new discoveries in neuroscience that will help everyone no matter what you're writing. Instead of taking the time to start with a meditation or a grounding exercise when you’re writing on your own - do any of you really do that? You could just start by yawning!
Want to increase your intuition skills? Want a quick route to relaxed awareness?
Before you start any writing this week, try yawning! Try 3 yawns in a row. Try to do them mindfully, paying attention to how they feel in your mouth and your body. Stretch and make some sounds while you're yawning! See if it helps you ground yourself and opens you up to a more intuitive process. I’d love to hear if it’s working for you!
