Mindfulness Exercise
Set up:
Sit in a comfortable seated position
Relax your shoulders down
Allow your facial muscles to soften
Breath work:
Take 6 rounds of deep breathes
Expanding your belly as you inhale
Drawing your belly back as you exhale
Meditation:
Declutter your mind
Focus on the present with your five senses
What do you see?
What do you hear?
What do you smell?
What do you taste?
Take a moment to experience the present moment
Think of one thing you are grateful for and meditate on that thought
Stay here for 2-3 minutes with your eyes closed.
