1 Minute Energy Check-in

Taking a moment to checkin with your body and mind is a great way to get in touch which state your central nervous is in.

​

Are you in a stressed state - flight, freeze mode? or in a relaxed Rest and Digest state?

​

You don't need to make any judgement about what you feel or don't feel, 

this exercise is simply a way for you to tune in to your current state at any point in time.

 

1. Stop what you are doing 

 

2. Take a purposeful breath 

​

3. ​Focus on each of the following in turn, for 5 seconds for each area. Tune in to what you are feeling or sensing in your body both physically and emotionally, and and how it feels. 

​​

• How is your Heart rate?

• Your breathing?

• Scalp - relaxed or tension?

• Eyes

• Jaw

• Neck, shoulders and back - posture? tension?

• Stomach

• Lower back and hips - relaxed? tightness? any pain or discomfort?

• Legs  and Feet

• How is your overall energy level?

• How is you overall level of stress or calm​?

​

4. Take another purposeful breath to end the check-in

​

Feel free to stay in the space of awareness to notice if or how the energy of your body and mind change over time - How does it change after another minute? Another 2 minutes? 5 minutes?

​

Making this a regular check-in is a useful way to stay in tune with your body and understand what may be impacting your physical and emotional state.
