  1. October Challenge 25 - Day 23 – Facing Fear: A Halloween Special Mindfulness Practice

    OCT 31

    October Challenge 25 - Day 23 – Facing Fear: A Halloween Special Mindfulness Practice

    Surprise! We couldn’t resist adding one more episode to our October mindfulness journey. Today is Halloween, and Lele and Nieta invite you to explore a theme that fits the day perfectly: fear. This special practice uses mindful visualization to gently observe and engage with fears whether it’s spiders, public speaking, or something else. You’ll learn how to notice your emotional and physical reactions, and how repeated, intentional exposure through mindfulness can help you build resilience and reduce fear over time. Remember: fear is a natural part of being human. This practice isn’t about pushing fear away it’s about meeting it with awareness, compassion, and curiosity.

    Congratulations! You’ve reached Day 22 of the October Mindfulness Challenge. Today’s practice, led by Lele and Nieta, is a joyful and reflective way to close the journey: mindful listening to music.

Try to hear something new, even in a song you’ve played a thousand times. Let music be your anchor to the present moment. Thank you for being part of this challenge. Whether you joined for a few days or all 22, your presence made this journey meaningful. Keep practicing, keep exploring, and let mindfulness continue to be part of your everyday life.
