How to practice mindfulness
- Take a seat: Find a place where you can sit quiet and comfortable.
- Set a time limit: Set a timer to guide you for how long you will be mindful.
- Notice your body: Sit however you want, be sure you can be in that position long.
- Feel your breath: Follow the sensation of your breath as it goes in and out.
- Notice when your mind has wandered: Your thoughts will leave the sensation of the breath and wander to other places. When you notice this give yourself a moment before returning.
- Be kind to your wandering mind: Don't judge yourself or obsess over the content of the thoughts you find yourself lost in.
