Mindful Self-Care | Refreshed Therapist Network

July kicks off the third quarter of 2020! 🎉 How is your refreshing going so far this year?

Before we focus on what’s next, let’s take a look back: What did you notice was emerging for you in June?

I felt a constant pull throughout the month to plan the coming weeks, but I had to accept that planning wasn’t fully possible, due to the uncertainty of risk brought on by social gatherings, traveling, and so forth. Not being able to look forward too far into the future forced a more mindful existence that was helpful. This mindful experience, although imperfect and in some ways unwanted, is the inspiration for this quarter’s theme in the membership: Mindful self-care.

Throughout this theme, we will offer a serious of challenges that will invite you to nourish yourself in practical ways. This month, our challenge topic is mindful eating. I invite you to join our community in bringing awareness to your eating experience, one meal, or one snack, at a time.

Get started, by signing up for the challenge to receive the challenge guide in your inbox. If you’d like to learn more about mindful eating, the following resources may be helpful in guiding you this month.
