Being Mindful
Stop, sit back and become mindful of your breathing. Follow the rhythm of your breath. Become aware of your surroundings, all the noise and movements. Notice the light in the room, the room temperature. Just notice and be aware, without criticising or commenting in your mind.
Begin to scan your body to see how it feels. Focus your attention on one body part at a time. Start at the soles of your feet, move to your ankles, legs, knees, hips, and back. Keep moving your attention through the body, all the way to the top of your head. Take note of how your body feels.
Now take a few moments to check in with how you’re feeling, your moods and emotions. Observe your thoughts. What are you thinking about? As you observe, steer away from judging. Just quietly observe, fully accepting everything.
Just be mindfully aware. Be as still as you can. Be as present as you can. Sit as comfortably as you can.
