Medical research estimates as much as 90% of illness and disease is stress-related. Don’t have time for a week’s vacation? Consider this: Join Challenge #11: Take 5! Yes, take a 5 minute vacation.
Go outside and soak up the sun.
Take a short walk.
Do some breathing exercises.
Play some music.
Lay in the grass and watch the clouds float by.
When we feel better and have more energy, we are more apt to be kind to others.
Comment below how you take five to be kind to yourself! (Extra Chance for your name in the drawing for telling us how it made you feel and/or posting a picture)!
As you share your experiences, it may inspire someone else to be kind. Either way, I will draw a name from all social media and email responses and gift an oil or product.
Spread kindness with us as we start ripples around the country…maybe even the world!
How do you show kindness?
Congratulations to Challenge #10 winner, Katherine W. She sends thank you cards to her clients. Katherine also sent thank you gifts to her dad’s hospice team and caregivers after he passed. What a beautiful way to show appreciation to others! Katherine wins a 5mL bottle of Northern Escape from dōTERRA.
Be sure to join Challenge #11: Take 5 on the website, Facebook, or share with me via email to be entered in the drawing this month.
I take five and be kind to myself by playing with my pets a little every day. In this way I can also be kind to them!
Yes, pets are a great way to alleviate stress! They help distract us from the stresses of our day to day life! Thanks for the reminder!
I take five by going to the track and walking a few miles! It helps ease and relax my mind from stressing and overthinking sometimes! I enjoy reading my daily bible verses to help me make it through out my daily struggles! I try my hardest to take each day as it comes! To stay strong! Not break! Keep going! Not give up!
Walking and reading are great ways to Take 5! Your self-talk is great! Stay strong and keep going are critical! Thank you for sharing all you do to take a 5 minute vacation!
I take 5 or more minutes soaking up the sun with my best friend Donna Weber at the Park every Tuesday. Its therapeutic to spend time with her and enjoy nature at the same time! I am so grateful to have such a wonderful friend who I can exercise with.
I look forward to our weekly walks at the park! You’re so right…walking out in nature with a friend is very therapeutic! Thanks for taking 5 or more minutes with me, Kelly! xo
