We’re doing a special challenge for the month of May and we hope you will join in! Take our 30-Day Mindfulness Challenge and hopefully achieve some relaxation and relief from the stresses we’re all facing at the moment.

We wanted to put something together for parents – especially during these at-home times – so we’ve compiled a little challenge to run during the month of May. There’s an idea for you to do each day during the month, but you can start at any time. All you need is to set aside a few minutes each day for something relaxing.

Join in and don’t forget to tag us on Instagram using the hashtag #mktmindful.

We hope you enjoy the challenge!
