Challenge #1

By Team CariaPublished 18 July 2020Updated 19 July 20201 min read

Welcome to the first Caria Community Challenge! With the current state of the world, you may be feeling your usual stresses and symptoms even more heightened than usual. We know dedicating time to self-care can be incredibly hard, so we’ve created community challenges as a way for us all to do it together and support each other.

Every day this week, you’ll see a new mindfulness session that you can join and do in your own time. Mindfulness is not just a powerful habit to build for mental wellness — it’s proven to help with menopause. In 2019, a study conducted at the Mayo Clinic found that women who practiced mindfulness experienced fewer menopausal symptoms. So join the challenge by voting below and starting your first mindfulness session on your Daily Feed!

This poll ran on the Caria community site and is now closed. The final results are below.
