Own The Goddess Within:
Beautiful Baddasses SLOW DOWN – BE MINDFUL

By Glenda Benevides, USA

Most of us move at a faster pace than is best for us, and this can be anxiety-producing, ungrounding, and de-stabilizing. Practice slowing down your internal speed as much as possible.

Even if you are on the go and have many things to do on a timeline, you can slow down your internal pace as you do them. A great way to do this is to imagine you have an invisible gear shift and see yourself downshifting when you notice you are moving too fast.

Another essential part of slowing down your internal speed is working with your thoughts. Thoughts can work to rev us up, and when we are moving too fast, the last thing we want to do is remain in a swirl of storylines.

A couple of great ways to cut through the clouds of dense and fast thoughts is to place your hand over your heart, say to yourself slowly, “My name is___________ and I’m willing to know.” Then Wait. When you choose to know, it allows you to drop out of your head, into your body, and your heart, and what you want will bubble to the surface.

GODDESS OF AIR RITUAL OF DEEP BREATHING

Breathing practices work quickly and powerfully to regulate your nervous system, immune system, and glandular system while awakening your latent creative life force. Breathing practices support detoxing and deep overall relaxation. I suggest that an easy way to start your day is to listen to the Wim Hoff breathing method – it’s fast, guided, and focused. (You’ll find him on YouTube) You’ll feel great, more alive, clear, grounded, and energized.

Do this for a month and write down your experiences of how you felt. This deep breathing practice can be done lying down or sitting up. It will be fun to notice how you feel and what shifts in your world.

GO OUTSIDE EARTH GODDESS!

TAKE A MIN OUT OF YOUR DAY…

Go into the sun, touch the ground with your hands, or feet. The focus is to be closer to nature. Just notice. Listen! What do you hear, or smell? What does the grass or earth feel like in your hands? Notice what your body feels like. Is it cold, or damp, or is the sun warming your body in the right way? Notice for a minute how everything is connected.

Write down your experiences and feelings in a journal every day for a month. Reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and moments that stood out. At the end of the month, take time to see what insights or connections you’ve gained. Be sure to express gratitude for the journey and everything it has revealed.
