5-3-1

There is a simple practice a counselor once taught me, one that I would like to daily take up even more in this time. It’s called the 5-3-1 practice.

Take 5 minutes and just be. Not even with the goal of prayer or meditation, though those are good and can be done at another time. Just sit and look out the window. 5 minutes and just be.

Note 3 things you are thankful for. There are many more to recount. But the goal is to keep it simple for now. 3 points of thankfulness.

Do 1 act of kindness. There are a host of ways we can show kindness, even in this very challenging time. A daily, intentional act can go a long way. 1 act of kindness.
