Mindfulness

Mindfulness is simply paying attention to the present moment, with curiousity and kindness.

So why do we need it? We're really distracted. We're really stressed out and we're not very good at managing our stress! 

Try this simple mindfulness activity, it will help bring you into the present moment:

Sit comfortably

Take a few moments to contemplate the present moment

Close your eyes and listen closely to the sounds around you

Listen to the totality of all the sounds without identifying or giving them meaning

Hear them as pure sound

Be present to the sensations in your body as you sit

Be present to the temperature in the room

Notice your breath going in and out, follow your breath for a while

Be present to the thoughts playing in your mind

Be present to your mood and feelings in this moment
