What’s your daily journal ritual?
If you don’t have one, start with Mindfulness and Health Watch: Your Weekly “Inspire Me” Journal (2024-2029 edition).
Embark on your mindfulness journey with us as we explore seven dimensions of mindfulness.
Each day, select one (or more) to focus on, record your fitness accomplishment, and cherish your most gratifying moment.
The best time to start is TODAY!
First, let’s grasp the essence of mindfulness. Then, choose your focus and make two or three commitments. Address daily challenges by infusing your day with positivity. Here are some prompts to kickstart your journey:

Log your fitness and meditative time in the HEALTH Watch box at the end of the day. Tracking progress fuels motivation, and soon, you’ll exceed your expectations, reaping unforeseen benefits. Medical experts say that walking at least 6,000 steps daily (or at least 30 minutes) increases blood and oxygen flow to the brain—great for memory!
