It's !!
Let's embrace this beautiful Monday with “The Five Signs of May” Mindfulness Exercise
May is a month when the environment is rapidly changing. The goal of this exercise is to intentionally notice subtle signs of growth and transition that normally go unnoticed.
Instructions:
Take a 5–10 minute walk outside (or sit near a window).
As you look outside, find:
One thing that is newly blooming
-a flower
-tree buds
-fresh grass
-vines/leaves
-One sound that only exists in warmer months
-birds
-lawn mowers
-open windows
-insects
-distant conversations
-One sign of movement or energy
-wind through leaves
-people outside
-dogs walking
-traffic patterns changing
-One scent that reminds you it’s spring
-rain
-flowers
-cut grass
-sunscreen
-warm pavement
-One thing in yourself that feels different than it did in winter
-energy
-mood
-motivation
-social desire
-pace of thought
Afterward, ask yourself:
“What in my life is currently in a season of growth, even if it still feels unfinished?”
