May 25, 2025 Day 25: Practicing Acceptance
Acceptance means noticing your experience and simply acknowledging it, rather than judging it as good or bad.
Many of us grow up with the belief that we need to constantly achieve, improve, or become something more. We're taught, often subtly, that we must “make something” of ourselves.
These unspoken expectations can lead us into a cycle of striving and struggle, always chasing the next achievement, purchase, or version of ourselves that we think will finally bring happiness.
In this mindfulness meditation, you’re invited to pause — to recognise where you are, as you are — and practice accepting your current state without needing to change it.

May 24, 2025 Day 24: Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a stress-management mindfulness technique. The idea behind PMR is that there is a relationship between a person's mind and body.
It works by helping to relieve physical tension, such as tight, aching muscles, through a simple process of tensing and relaxing specific muscle groups.
PMR is a two-step practice: first, you actively tense targeted muscles; then, you release that tension and pay attention to how your body feels in its relaxed state. This technique can help reduce overall stress and physical discomfort, and support a greater sense of calm when you're feeling anxious.

May 23, 2025 Day 23: Savor the Moment
Mindful eating is a powerful technique that helps you slow down, increase your awareness of food, and build healthier eating habits, all while strengthening your relationship with what you eat.
In the second of two mindful eating sessions in the Month of Mindfulness Challenge, Gabby shares ways to shift from mindless, to mindful eating, followed by a guided exercise to help you put it into practice.
You’ll need a small piece of food such as a raisin, grape, cooked pasta, orange slice, piece of cheese, or square of chocolate.
The more mindful you become throughout your day, the more naturally mindfulness will extend to how you eat helping you make more intentional and informed choices.

May 22, 2025 Day 22: Mindful Eating
Mindful eating is about tuning into how you feel while you eat, paying attention to the experience with awareness and intention.
Being more mindful with food can support better digestion, help you feel satisfied with less, and lead to healthier, more conscious choices. It can also free you from unhelpful eating habits and patterns.
In today’s challenge, Gabby shares simple, practical ways to bring more mindfulness to your meals, with an invitation to try a few and see what works best for you.

May 21, 2025 Day 21: Embracing Non-Striving
Non-striving is one of the core principles of mindfulness.
It’s the conscious decision to let things be as they are, without immediately reacting or trying to change them.
With the mindfulness attitude of non-striving, there is no goal other than to simply be yourself. It’s about trying less and being more.
Today’s challenge is an invitation to do just that: to sit and be with yourself for a few minutes, something we often avoid at all costs.
Host Gabby will gently guide you into and out of this meditation.

May 20, 2025 Day 20: Building Self-Esteem with the 5 C’s
The five C’s of self-esteem are: Competence, Confidence, Character, Connection, and Caring.
Day 20 of the Month of Mindfulness Challenge invites you to reflect on each of these key areas, to check in with yourself and assess where you are, and consider what small actions you can take to grow and strengthen your self-esteem.
For this challenge, you’ll need a pen and paper, or you can use your laptop or the notes app on your phone, as you take a few mindful moments to rate your personal scores for each of the five C’s and explore how to build on them.

May 19, 2025 Day 19: Practicing Trust
A fundamental part of learning to meditate is learning to trust yourself; your instincts, your sensations, and your emotions.
In mindfulness, we often say the body holds more wisdom than the mind. Practicing the mindful attitude of trust means tuning in and learning to listen to that wisdom.
This practice is about taking responsibility for being yourself, and learning to honour and trust your own experience, just as it is.
