Mindful Minute
A great mindfulness technique is to simply connect to what is accessible by your senses at this very moment
When we connect to what is happening by focusing on our breath and senses we are able to interrupt our unproductive habitual activity so that we engage with what is happening at the present time.
Start by focusing on your breath and fully exhaling before allowing your lungs to fill normally
Repeat this twice and notice each breath as it enters and leaves you body
Then while continuing your breathing simply take a minute to:
Look around at what you can see (5 things)
Notice what you can hear (4 sounds)
Connect with what you can feel (3 sensations)
Identify what you smell (2 smells)
Observe what you can taste (1 taste)
(PS – Don’t worry if you can’t get the number specified – just try)
