May marks the transition into summer—a perfect time to pause, reset, and take stock of your daily habits. If the year has been rushing by, use this month as an opportunity to bring mindfulness into your routine.
Start with your mornings. Try waking up 10 minutes earlier to enjoy a quiet cup of tea, stretch, or journal. This small moment can set the tone for a calm and focused day. Likewise, consider cutting back on screen time. Replace scrolling with a walk, a podcast, or a book you’ve been meaning to read.
Nutrition plays a role in mindfulness too. May brings fresh fruits and veggies into season, so experiment with colorful salads, smoothies, or light dinners. Eating mindfully—savoring each bite—can reduce stress and improve digestion.
Lastly, incorporate a few minutes of deep breathing or guided meditation daily. Even just five minutes can help reset your nervous system and improve sleep.
May is about rebirth and renewal. With a few mindful adjustments, you can greet summer feeling more grounded and refreshed.
