I’ve now completed my 5 weeks of trying different mindfulness techniques. I enjoyed doing this more than I thought I would. I figured that by mid-week of every week I would lose motivation, but I didn’t. I was motivated through the whole week, each week. I was, however, surprised some weeks to see how my…
This week is the final week of testing out different mindfulness techniques, and the theme for the week is ‘yoga/stretching.’ I have some mixed opinions on this technique because of my experiences in the past with it compared to now.

Each week I will record my initial thoughts and feelings about the practice after the first day of completeing it (Fridays), as well as revisiting…
