5 Minutes Isn't Enough Time...or is it?

5 Minutes Isn't Enough Time...or is it?

Most people skip or avoid doing things that will support their physical or mental health due to “All or Nothing” thinking. They convince themselves that if they don't have a full hour to workout, then there is no point to workout.

But what if I told you, that not only can you change your life and your health, but you can change your brain in only 5 minutes.

Nicole Vignola, a neuroscientist that I follow, says “While 5 minutes might seem short, the cumulative effect of daily practice over time can lead to significant changes in brain structure and function.”

The key is consistency, because over time those 5 minute pockets of time can yield real results.?

This week, I am challenging you to let go of the limiting belief that “you don't have the time” to prioritize your physical and mental health. And if you keep scrolling, I have a list of activities you can do that will take no more than 5 minutes, but if done consistently will make a big impact.

On Friday, March 1st, I am kicking Me Time March a free month long private group where I will share daily coaching tips & journal prompts to help you make time for yourself. Click here to join us!?

Here are 5 Minute activities that will boost your Self Care & improve your Mental Health.

Choose an activity and set a timer for 5 minutes:

  1. Drink 5 big sips of water, don't rush them, take your time with each sip.?
  2. Stand up, Do 10 squats, and 10 push ups.
  3. Walk up and down a set of stairs at a comfortable pace.?
  4. Close your eyes and take deep inhales and longer exhales.
  5. Listen to a song that makes you feel happy!
  6. Eat a banana, orange, apple or handful of nuts. Don't rush, take your time.?
  7. Call a friend to simply say “Hi!”
  8. Stare out of a window and notice everything that is yellow.

Which one of these will you commit to this week? Trust me, you can find 5 minutes, trust me! And if you want more accountability with making time for yourself, join Me Time March! ?Click here to join!?

I love a good slow-down snack. 5 minutes with some food can totally reset my day.
