Mindful Monday Moments
Savour...Every....Mouthful! This week the Aga Khan Health Board has put together a tasty mindfulness exercise for you. Mindfulness helps us to push the pause button, slow things down and truly savour the moment. Mindful eating can help us to really enjoy our food and appreciate it. This practice can also be extended to other activities such as walking, appreciating nature and even washing dishes! We hope you enjoy this one! To watch this week’s video, please click here. For past videos in English see here or Gujarati here.

ITREB Thought of the Day #MotivationMonday
Books allow everyone to access knowledge and wisdom on countless subjects. However, many of us might find it difficult to fit more reading into our lives. Some helpful tips: We can start the day or end the day by reading. We could add reading onto a habit that is already embedded into our lives, for example, listening to an audiobook while cooking, or walking. Or you can combine it with a social activity, such as joining a virtual book club. Studies have shown that people who read novels have greater empathy. Psychologists have also proved that reading fiction enhances the ability to detect and understand other people's emotions, a crucial skill in building relationships. In a world that is increasingly complex and polarised, if we can learn to better understand others, we can create connections that surpass the boundaries of difference. Why not join or start a virtual book club today?
