Try for 5

When your motivation feels tough to come by: Committing to just trying something for 5 minutes can help you move forward. Today, we’ll practice being kind to ourselves and our motivation. Voiced by Mel Chanté. Takeaways: 1-  It’s OK to release some of the pressure you put on your productivity. 2- Commit to trying an activity for just five minutes—and be compassionate with yourself. 3- If after five minutes you don't feel like continuing, let it go. Chances are that starting will help push you towards doing it. --- Mantra: I commit to trying. --- With the Shine app, end your day with recommended meditations to quiet your mind and help you ease into rest.
