Try a Mindful Moment!
You don't need special equipment to practice mindfulness. Here are three simple activities to try today.
Balloon Breathing
Imagine there is a balloon in your belly. Place your hands on your stomach. As you breathe in through your nose, imagine the balloon getting bigger and bigger. As you breathe out slowly through your mouth, imagine the balloon getting smaller. Feel your hands move up and down with your breath.
Sound Detective
Close your eyes and pretend you're a detective for sounds. Sit very still and listen. What can you hear far away? A car? A bird? Now, what can you hear close to you? A clock ticking? Your own breathing? See how many different sounds you can discover!
Five-Senses Hunt
Try this quick hunt! Can you notice: 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste? It's a fun way to feel present and notice the world around us.
