Calming Your Mind

In our fast-paced world, finding moments of mental peace has become increasingly valuable. When stress and anxiety begin to overwhelm, these practical techniques can help restore tranquility to your mind.

Deep Breathing

The simplest way to calm your mind begins with your breath. Try the 4-7-8 technique: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds. This pattern activates your parasympathetic nervous system, naturally reducing stress hormones.

Mindful Meditation

Even five minutes of meditation can significantly reduce mental turbulence. Find a quiet space, sit comfortably, and focus on your breathing. When thoughts arise, acknowledge them without judgment and gently return your focus to your breath.

Nature Connection

Studies show that spending time in natural environments reduces cortisol levels and mental fatigue. A walk in the park, tending to houseplants, or simply gazing at natural scenery can all provide mental relief.

Digital Detox

Constant connectivity contributes significantly to mental overload. Designate technology-free periods throughout your day to give your mind space to process and reset.

Physical Movement

Exercise releases endorphins that naturally elevate mood. Even gentle movement like stretching or a short walk can help clear mental fog and reduce rumination.

Sensory Grounding

When anxious thoughts spiral, engage your senses with the 5-4-3-2-1 technique: acknowledge 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you taste.

Remember that calming your mind is a practice, not a perfect science. Be patient with yourself as you explore which techniques work best for your unique mind and circumstances.

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY
‘Fog harvesting’ could provide water for arid cities

Collecting water from fog could provide some of the world’s driest cities with a sustainable source of drinking water.

That’s the conclusion of a new report which examined the potential for ‘fog harvesting’ in the city of Alto Hospicio on the edge of the Atacama Desert, Chile. It’s one of the driest places in the world but is often enveloped by thick fog.

That fog is an untapped resource according to researchers at Universidad Mayor, Santiago. They examined the potential of an existing low-tech system for harvesting fog – namely a fine mesh suspended vertically between two – for meeting the city’s water needs.

Researchers estimated that 17,000 sq m of mesh would harvest enough water to meet the weekly water demand of 300,000 liters that is currently trucked into Alto Hospicio’s slums. Such systems are already used, albeit on a small scale, in Morocco.

“Fog water collection in arid regions addresses immediate resource challenges in harmony with nature and represents a transformative step towards equitable and sustainable cities in the face of global water scarcity,” read the study.

What is Reclining Hero Pose?

Reclining hero pose, or supta virasana, is a more advanced version of hero pose. From hero, the yogi reclines onto their back and holds opposite elbows over the head. This pose is good for stretching the abdominal organs.

Instructions

• Begin by kneeling and separating your feet as wide as your hips.

• Exhale and lower your bottom in between your calves.

• On the next exhalation recline back, lowering your head and back to the floor.

• Inhale and reach your arms overhead. Grasp opposite elbows. Breathe while holding the pose.
