Feel out of sync? Build a cairn!

Cairns

Happy Self-Care Sunday, Friends! Ever feel a little out of sync? When I was at Miraval Resorts, Austin, feeling burned out and out of balance, I learned about creating a cairn.

What’s a Cairn?

You’ve probably seen the little stacks of stones. A cairn is an intentional stack that symbolizes balance and direction. When life feels chaotic, building a cairn can help you prioritize and find your center.

Build Your Own Cairn for Balance!

It’s super simple:

• Grab 3-6 flat stones. (I used 5!)

• Give each stone a meaning. Identify something important in your life.

• Stack them up! See how they fit together for a sense of balance.

This is how I defined my rocks, but yours will be unique to you:

 Rock 1: Foundation = My Immediate Family

 Rock 2: Extended Family

 Rock 3: Work-Life Balance

 Rock 4: Personal Values

 Rock 5: Self-Care

Building a cairn is a beautiful way to practice mindfulness, refocus, and find your balance. What part of your life would be your cairn’s “foundation” stone?
