Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Exhale.

Pick a colour 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣

Find the moment below with that same colour, then go to the closing moment at the end.

Take a moment to….

🔴 … really look at your hands. Compare the left palm to the right one, do the lines match? Turn your hands over and compare the backs too. Move your fingers as if you were paying the piano and watch the movements on the back of your hand. Make two fists and then stretch your hands out as far as you can. Do this anytime you need to stop and revive achy hands.

Take a moment to….

🟠 … learn about the beautiful citrus fruit known as 👉🏻 Buddha’s Hand. Said to have been the first citrus fruit in Europe, originating in Northeastern India, and said to symbolise happiness, longevity and prosperity.

Take a moment to….

🟡 … think about songs that make you want to clap along. Put it in the comments below and then listen to the lovely Clap Your Hands by LeoSoul.

Take a moment to….

🟢 … think about what foods you can eat with your hands. Name your favourite top five.

Take a moment to….

🔵 … put your hands out together in front of you with your palms facing up. Take a deep breath in and feel your hands rise with lightness, as you breathe out feel a weight in your hands as they lower. As you breathe in again, feel lightness and calm inside your body and around your hands. Then breathe out any stresses and strains, feeling their weight in your hands. Separate your hands and let all that stress fall away. Repeat as necessary whenever you are feeling a bit frazzled.

Take a moment to….

🟣 … look around you. How many things that you can see do you think you could hold in your hands all at once?

Take another deep breath. Hold it. Exhale. Smile. Our hands are amazing things. They can reach out, they can hold close, they can lift up, they can tear down and they can communicate without words. This week is in your hands and you can handle all that it brings. And don’t forget to give yourself a little self-five, a pat on the back and a little round of applause for all that you achieve 🤟🏼
