I’m so excited, because we are having our very first giveaway here at The Minty Pink! Just in time for the Holiday Season! We are teaming up with Faeve Plant Therapies, and giving away an assortment of products. All the products are organic! š
Faeve Plant Therapies mantra is all about meditation, positivity and creating a stress free environment for you and your family. Personally, I’ve always struggled a lot with meditation. So for those of you who are ‘eh’ about that sort of stuff, I totally get it. Jake, however, really enjoys it and is always telling me I need to try theĀ Headspace AppĀ – he thinks I’ll be really into it if I try it! We’ll see… Anyone else struggle getting involved in mediation? I just always feel like I have to move around!
In terms of Mindfulness: I’m totally there. I was lucky enough to take the Science of Happiness course that NYU offered my junior year of college, and I stand by the fact that I feel like it completely changed sense of direction. Prior to the course, I was feeling pretty down – I had changed my major from Musical Theater to Media, Culture & Communications (looking back – best decisionĀ ever for me!) and was feeling a little lost about where to go next. And, as magical as New York City is, it can become a really lonely place when you don’t know your spot in it. Being such a planner, I was starting to feel a bit anxious about the future and what I really wanted.
However, at one point in the duration of the class, we were asked to write a gratitude letter. I chose my mom, and realized what I valued most of all was those I loved and cared for. It sounds suuuuuperrr cheesy, but creating a direct focus on gratitude on a daily basis really made me feel just better. Plus, she really loved receiving the letter and knowing how I felt!Ā Even though I still didn’t have an exact solution, I was able to recognize that, really, everything was still okay. I had people who not only supported me in anything I wanted to do, but loved me unconditionally. When you really put the effort in to remember that on a daily basis, it’s hard not to feel happy.
I’ve always journaled, so in order to incorporate that feeling more regularly, I started ending my entries with what and who I was most grateful for. It began to give me a deeper appreciation for life and them. In class, we always talked about having a “flow” state of mind, and to think about what gets you in that zone. For some, it’s meditation (and maaaaaybe it could be for me too….) Truthfully though, I think it can be anything from singing in your car to writing a blog post. We all need an activity that we can allow ourselves to be completely involved in – totally immersed, without any distraction.
