7 PRACTICES TO BE

STILL & CALM

PAUSE AND BREATHE

1
Simply take a moment a few times during the day
to pause and take a breath. Notice how you feel
Get present with your surroundings.

SAVOR EXPEREINCES
2 Go slowly, and savor fully each experience
during your day. Taking a bite at lunch,
sipping your coffee, steps in your walk.

PAUSE-FIND MOMENTS OF STILLNESS

3 Rather than a constant state of motion, we
can embrace a pause, savoring a moment of
stillness.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM TODAY?

4 Each day, you can start by asking...What do
I want from today? Whatever it is, make this
a top priority for your day.

BE CURIOUS.
5 Whatever you’re doing, there is an
opportunity to bring curiosity. How about
being open and curious as someone is talking
to you? Listen with curiosity.

EMBRACE NOT HAVING ALL THE ANSWERS.

6 The primary distinction between just sounding
smart and being smart is a willingness to
say, "I don’t know, and I'll find out."

CREATE YOUR STORY, LOOK FOR WONDER

7 Use the lens of seeing everything around us
as a miracle, wondrous and awe-inspiring.
This is an appreciation for the incredible
nature of this life.
