We don’t always have the time to relax and stop during a busy day when we head to work or school. Today Janine encourages us to take mini mindful moments and use our senses to create some pause points. 

In this episode Janine discusses:

Sight - noticing things around you that you wouldn’t usually notice and look for

Taste - taking a mindful sip, whether that's your first sip of coffee in the morning or a bite at meal time

Listening - creating playlists for different moods and choosing when to put these on. Listening to audiobooks or podcasts

The book the Highly Sensitive Child by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D.

Thinking about what overwhelms you via your senses and how to mitigate overwhelm

And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!
