Hi, welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.
Over the next three days, I'm going to
share three very simple tips you can
use to reduce your anxiety and three
meditations that will help calm your mind.
In today's session.
I want to share something called
take five that we can do together.
Take out your left hand and
place it in front of you like
you're holding a pizza pie.
Then take your right pointer finger
and place it in the palm of your
hand, right around your wrist.
I'm going to hold mine up
like this so you can see.
What we're going to do is slide the
point of finger up each of the fingers
on the left hand, breathing in as we go
up and then breathing out as we go down.
So let's do it together.
Sliding up, breathing in through the nose.
Back down, exhale.
Up the point a finger, inhale.
Back down, exhale.
Up the middle finger.
Back down.
Inviting the shoulders to relax.
The ring finger.
Back down.
And the pinky.
Back down.
Great.
That's take five.
Doesn't take more than about 25 seconds.
You can do this when you first wake up,
when you feel yourself being overwhelmed.
There's something about the tactile
nature of this and syncing it with
the breath that seems to be really
calming for the nervous system.
So if you have anxious thoughts, you can
do it when you're experiencing those, or
when you just feel tension in your body.
It's a great way to settle down.
Also, if you have kids, you
could teach it to them as well.
They tend to love it.
So this is take five.
In a moment, we're going
to do a meditation.
But each day I'm going to share two
more techniques, just like this that
you can use throughout the day to help
calm the mind and reduce your anxiety.
It's great to have you here.
I'll see you tomorrow.
And let's first settle in
for today's meditation.

Just a small sample of the life-changing 5-star reviews we get on a daily basis.
Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
- Lauren
Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.
- Kirtus
I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.
- Lydia
So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!
- EJ
Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
- Babi
You get a lot of useful tips for handling stress and anxiety in 'real life'.
- Joy
Highly recommend.
- Humanfrst
Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
