Start a journal- Keeping a journal can be one of the most powerful ways of learning about yourself. If you commit to reflecting about yourself and your relationships each day you can learn about your patterns, see how you change over time and practice putting your thoughts and feelings into words. You can write, type, draw, video yourself, make a voice journal- whatever feels right and you'll enjoy doing often.
Make playlists- Make some music playlists for different moods and kinds of yoga practices you like to do...
- Make some for times you want to relax, some for when you want more energy
- Explore themed playlists, like 'patience' or 'sunshine'.
- For yoga practices, experiment with having the music flow in a wave- start with slower songs and build up to a peak of the fastest songs, slow them down and end with a really relaxing song for savasana (the final resting pose)
- To use some of my playlists, you can friend Mandala Learning on facebook and download Spotify for free to listen to a bunch of different playlists
- Scroll down for a teen yoga playlist collaboration
Get Crafty- Visit mandala's youtube crafts playlist for videos on how to make an eye pillow for relaxing, a dreamcatcher for intuition, poi for creativity...Sign up for the blog for more ideas and sign up for updates when new crafts are added.
Write on your mirror- Use dry-erase markers to write quotes, reminders, inspiring words, etc. on the mirror in your bedroom or bathroom. You see the space all the time and it's easy to change the writing whenever you want.
Be Playful-
| Dress up- it's not only for Halloween! Have a spontaneous theme party with friends, make your own costumes, wear them around and you'll be sure to forget your worries and help people escape their minds for a while DANCE, SING, LAUGH! Try some improv- check out the video below for inspiration... |  |
