🌞 Good Morning, and Welcome to Day 26 of Nourishing November! 🌞

Today, we’re focusing on a part of ourselves that often goes unnoticed—our hands. Our hands allow us to create, care for others, and carry out tasks each day. By bringing mindful attention to our hands, we can cultivate gratitude for all they enable us to accomplish. Today, let’s honor the work of our hands and express appreciation for their strength and ability. Begin with this affirmation:

"I appreciate the work my hands do each day." 🌸

Repeat this affirmation, letting it serve as a reminder of all the ways your hands support you. Often, the small acts of care and effort we make each day go unrecognized. Today, let’s slow down and appreciate our hands for their tireless contributions, and give them a little extra care.

🌿 Today’s Activity: Practice a Mindful Hand Massage

Take a few minutes today to give yourself a gentle hand massage. As you rub your palms, fingers, and wrists, pay attention to the sensations, feeling each muscle and joint. Notice any areas that hold tension, and use slow, soothing movements to release it.

As you massage, reflect on the tasks your hands perform daily—from preparing meals to holding loved ones. This small act of self-care can serve as a reminder of the strength and resilience within you. Let this moment be one of gratitude and mindfulness for the work your hands do.

We’ll meet back here tonight to reflect on how this practice felt. Wishing you a day filled with gratitude for the small yet powerful ways you care for yourself. 🌱
