🌸 Monday Mindfulness with Michelle 2026 🌸
30 DAYS OF NOVEMBER GRATITUDE
November is here, and I'm inviting you to join me for a little daily mindfulness challenge.
Sometimes, amongst the busyness of life, we forget to stop and appreciate the little things. The things that make us smile, lift our spirits or simply make an ordinary day feel a little brighter.
So, throughout November, we're going to take a few moments each day to pause, reflect and think about something we're grateful for.
I've put together 30 little prompts to get us thinking. Nothing complicated, no pressure and certainly no right or wrong answers.
And to get us started, I've included a little outtake from one of our lovely October ladies! She was trying to record her video, but clearly her four-legged friend had other ideas!
Although our challenge officially starts today, I thought this little video was a perfect example of our first prompt, for 1st November:
Someone who makes me feel comfortable being me.
Sometimes that's a person, sometimes it's a furry friend who simply doesn't understand the meaning of personal space! It's a lovely reminder that happiness and gratitude can be found in the simplest of moments.
🌸 SO, WHAT'S IN STORE FOR OUR FIRST WEEK?
From 2nd to 8th November, we're going to be exploring Finding Happiness in the Everyday.
We'll be thinking about:
• A place that brings back happy memories.
• Something I'm proud of myself for.
• A small moment that made my day brighter.
• One thing I love about November.
• Something that makes my home feel warm and cosy.
• A song that always lifts my spirits.
• A place where I can feel calm and relaxed.
Remember, gratitude isn't about pretending everything is wonderful. It's about recognising that even amongst life's challenges, there can still be moments worth appreciating.
So, who's joining me?
Let's make November a month of noticing, appreciating and celebrating the little things.
