Sunday, February 25

Today is Sunday, February 25, 2024. Unseasonably warm. Gathering with loved ones, staying connected.

DGoV (Daily Gift of Vitality) Activity: Start your day without digital inputs. Postpone engaging with a screen and let your day start with your own thoughts and feelings. Let you choose what you focus on. See how it feels. Notice how you experience your day.

“Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

Sunday, October 22

Today is Sunday, October 22, 2023. Autumn colors brighten the days.

DGoV (Daily Gift of Vitality) Activity: Try a new routine for 1 week and see what happens. Wake up. Smile to self. Drink water. Stretch muscles and fascia. Meditate. Journal. Listen to the sounds of nature or pleasant music. Think of the day ahead focusing on what is in your control and that can make your day a better day: Connecting with a friend or colleague. Exercising. Learning something new. Taking the scenic route. Pausing and reflecting in silence.

A quote by Sakyong Mipham, “The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness.”
